Grease Trap Pump-Out Log (Free Template)

Why this piece of paper matters more than it looks

East Baton Rouge’s ordinance makes your maintenance records do three jobs. They prove your cleaning interval to inspectors. They document the condition checks required at every cleaning. And — the one nobody knows until it’s expensive — if the parish cleans a public sewer line shared by several businesses, everyone on the line is billed unless they can prove their trap wasn’t the problem, and the ordinance names cleaning manifests and inspection documentation as that proof (Sec. 2:272(6)). A $0 folder of receipts against a four-figure sewer-cleaning bill.

The log

Print this table and keep it near the trap paperwork, or download it as a spreadsheet (CSV).

What to staple to it

• Every pump-out receipt and waste manifest (hauler, date, volume, disposal site)
• Repair permits and the plumbing inspector’s tag — the tag legally stays on site
• Any correspondence with Environmental Services or the health department

Every service we perform comes with the dated receipt and manifest that fill one row of this log — and we track your next-due date so the column fills itself. The full parish rules are here.
