Grease trap rules for Largo kitchens
Largo treats its own wastewater and permits commercial dischargers, including food service facilities, under City Code Sec. 23-120. In July 2026 the city moved Commercial Wastewater Discharge Permit billing to a single annual cycle from October 1 to September 30, aligned with the business tax receipt, with prorated fees for new users (Ordinance 2026-23). The city has also enforced an in-ground interceptor requirement for food service facilities consistently for years.
The general requirement is that every food service facility removes the entire contents of its grease interceptor once every 30 operational days. Operational days are the days the kitchen actually runs, so a kitchen closed one day a week gets a little longer in calendar time. The city can approve an alternate frequency. Its documentation-of-service form calls for a complete pump-out, hauler records kept on site for at least 12 months and submitted quarterly, and treats returning gray water to the interceptor as a violation. Heating trap contents to flush them into the sewer is specifically prohibited.
Many Largo restaurants share an interceptor in a strip plaza along Ulmerton Road, East Bay Drive or Missouri Avenue. Largo's code settles who is responsible: the person who owns or takes control of the interceptor, or the owner of the property it sits on. If you're a tenant in a shared plaza, find out who books the pump-outs before the quarterly records are due. See shared grease interceptor service.
How a Largo pump-out works

-
Step 2: On-site check
We open the lids, measure grease and solids depth, and look at the baffles, tees and outlet. Ask for a written quote before work starts.
-
Step 3: Full pump-out
The unit is pumped to empty, walls and baffles are scraped, and the inlet and outlet are checked for flow.
-
Step 4: Manifest and schedule
You get a signed manifest for your logbook and a suggested date for the next visit, set by your rule and how fast the unit filled.
