Grease interceptors are large underground units — typically 500 to 2,000 gallons — that serve high-volume food service operations like restaurants, hotel kitchens, and institutional cafeterias. Pumping a grease interceptor requires specialized vacuum trucks and experienced technicians who can handle the volume and complexity of these larger systems. Florida DEP requires that interceptors be pumped when FOG accumulation reaches 25% of the unit's capacity, though many counties enforce more frequent schedules. Professional pumping includes measuring grease depth before and after service, documenting manifests per Chapter 62-705, and inspecting the unit for structural issues. The providers below are equipped to handle grease interceptor pumping across Florida.
Grease interceptor pumping involves using a vacuum truck to remove all FOG and wastewater from the interceptor (typically 500-2,000+ gallons), measuring grease depth before and after service, inspecting the unit for structural issues, and documenting the service with a DEP-compliant manifest.
Florida regulations require pumping when FOG reaches 25% of interceptor capacity. For most high-volume establishments, this means every 30 to 90 days. Some counties enforce stricter schedules. Your provider should measure grease depth at each visit to optimize your pumping frequency.
Grease interceptor pumping in Florida typically costs $300 to $800+ per service, depending on interceptor size, grease volume, and accessibility. Larger units (1,000+ gallons) and units requiring longer hose runs cost more. Annual contracts reduce per-visit pricing.
Yes. Chapter 62-705 requires DEP-licensed haulers for all grease waste removal, including interceptor pumping. The hauler must provide a manifest documenting the waste volume, origin, and disposal destination for every pump-out.
