Waste Cooking Oil Collection and Recycling

It is important for cooking oil to be stored and handled properly before, during, and after use. After the oil passes its useful life in the fryers, it needs to be transferred into a storage container until it can be picked up to be recycled. Ensuring that your UCO is picked up regularly helps create a safer work environment by reducing the risk of spills, burns, and injuries, and preventing theft. Our professionals at Mahoney Environmental will collect your UCO before your storage container becomes too full.

We tailor our UCO pickup services to align with the specific needs of your business.

Commercial Grease Trap Cleaning and Maintenance Services

Grease traps are an important feature of commercial kitchens because they help keep fats, oils, and grease (FOG) out of the sewer system. If the FOG is not properly filtered from the wastewater, it can cause damage to drainage and sewer systems and pollute the natural environment. Foodservice businesses are also subject to fines for allowing FOG to drain into sewer systems violates local regulations.

Grease traps help separate the FOG from wastewater by using a system of baffles. The FOG collects in the grease traps over time, and if the traps are not cleaned out regularly, they may cause damage and blockages that can lead to kitchen flooding. Ensuring that your grease traps are properly cleaned and maintained can help keep you in compliance with local and state regulations and prevent problems within your kitchen.

Maintaining your grease traps prevents the following issues:

• Kitchen flooding
• Foul odors
• Contamination and health issues
• Fines
• Business closure

• Ongoing Maintenance: We offer routine maintenance for grease traps to ensure they are functioning properly and identify any potential problems early.
