Cooking Oil Disposal and Recycling Services
In busy kitchens, cooking oil can be used for multiple frying cycles before its quality breaks down. Once it reaches the end of its life, it must be safely stored for proper collection and recycling. Working with experts like Mahoney Environmental helps your restaurant or foodservice business manage UCO responsibly. Keeping your kitchen safe and protecting Arizona’s environment.
Mahoney Environmental offers complete UCO pickup, disposal, and recycling services throughout Arizona.

Restaurant Grease Trap Cleaning and Maintenance
For restaurants and commercial kitchens in Arizona, keeping grease traps clean and maintained is essential for preventing plumbing problems and meeting local environmental standards. Grease traps capture fats, oils, and grease (FOG) before they can enter the sewage system, protecting both your plumbing and the environment. Letting FOG flow down the drain can lead to severe pipe damage, pollution, and costly code violations.
A grease trap uses a series of baffles to separate and collect grease from wastewater. If not cleaned regularly, the trapped FOG builds up and causes issues that can disrupt your business, including:
- Kitchen flooding and drain backups
- Odors and contamination risks
- Health department violations
- Expensive repairs and cleaning services
- Business downtime or closure
- Fines for noncompliance
Mahoney Environmental helps foodservice businesses keep their grease traps in top working conditions with our professional grease trap cleaning and maintenance services. Our team provides expert cleaning, maintenance, and repairs, and we can also design and install grease trap systems for commercial kitchens of any size.
As part of our comprehensive grease trap service, we offer:
