Grease Trap Cleaning in Temple Terrace, FL

Grease Trap Cleaning Tampa cleans grease traps and pumps grease interceptors for restaurants and commercial kitchens in Temple Terrace, along Fowler Avenue, 56th Street and Busch Boulevard. Grease trap cleaning in Temple Terrace follows the city's own grease management ordinance (City Code Chapter 22, Article V, Division 3), with its own inspectors and hauler registration.

Grease trap rules for Temple Terrace kitchens

Temple Terrace's ordinance closely follows the City of Tampa's. There is no fixed number of days for interceptors: they must be pumped when settled solids pass the outlet invert (typically 8 inches), when grease and solids displace more than 25% of capacity, or when the unit stops retaining grease (Sec. 22-304). Indoor traps must be opened, inspected, cleaned and maintained at least once a week. The big difference is record-keeping: Temple Terrace requires the maintenance logbook to be kept for three years, where Tampa asks for one.

The city runs its own grease management inspections and registers grease haulers separately (Sec. 22-306), so a hauler registered with the City of Tampa still needs Temple Terrace registration to work here. Kitchens along the Fowler Avenue corridor near the University of South Florida see their busiest weeks during the academic year. A condition-based rule means the schedule should follow measured depths rather than the calendar. See the Tampa ordinance guide for how the shared triggers work.
