We track your interval so you never think about it between visits. The full rules, in plain English →

Common questions
How often does a grease trap need pumping in Baton Rouge?
East Baton Rouge law sets the ceiling: at least once every 90 days, no matter what (Sec. 2:273). In practice most full-service restaurants need indoor traps pumped every 2–6 weeks and interceptors every 60–90 days, depending on trap size and how much you fry. Our frequency calculator gives you an estimate in 30 seconds.
What does grease trap cleaning cost?
Small indoor traps typically run in the low hundreds per service; large interceptors are priced by the gallon. See the full cost guide for ranges by size.
Do you handle the disposal paperwork?
Yes — pumped grease is manifested and disposed at a licensed facility, and you keep a copy of the record.
