Grease Trap Cost Calculator
Grease Trap Cleaning Tampa built this grease trap cost calculator from published Tampa Bay price ranges and each city and county's pumping rule. Pick three things to see how often you need service and what a year of it typically costs.
Your estimate
- Plan a pump-out every
- 60 days
- Visits per year
- 6–7
- Typical cost per visit
- $300–$550
- Typical annual cost (6 visits)
- $1,800–$3,300
Price evidence: Medium confidence. A 7th visit, when the calendar needs it, adds one more visit's cost.
The rule: City of Tampa: Pump before solids pass the outlet invert (~8 in), grease and solids exceed 25% of capacity, the unit stops retaining grease, a backup occurs, or sanitary waste enters Tampa Code Ch. 26 Art. VII, Sec. 26-306
Your interval is set by your kitchen volume, which is shorter than the rule requires (or the rule has no fixed day count).
Same visit as an emergency: about $360–$1,100.
Falling behind: Tampa bills failed re-inspections at $61/hour; Florida can fine up to $250 per failure to clean.
Typical Tampa Bay market ranges with the confidence level shown. Not a quote. Your price depends on access, hose run, waste volume and disposal fees.
How the calculator works
- Your jurisdiction sets the legal maximum interval: 30 days in Pinellas County, St. Petersburg and Largo; 90 days in unincorporated Hillsborough and Pasco; no fixed days in Tampa and Temple Terrace; city-set in Clearwater.
- Your kitchen volume sets a practical interval: 30, 60 or 90 days, reflecting typical industry practice. It isn't law.
- The shorter of the two is your interval. Visits per year are 365 divided by it (12–13 for 30 days, 4–5 for 90).
- Your unit size picks the price band. Annual cost uses the minimum visits.
Price bands and their confidence levels come from the Tampa cost guide. A measured 25% check (20% in Pasco) always decides the real schedule.
