Grease Trap Requirements in Jeffersonville, IN

According to the City of Jeffersonville:

“The City of Jeffersonville requires all restaurants and food service establishments to install and maintain grease traps at their locations. The regulation of grease traps is provided by 2010-OR-40. This addresses uniform requirements for direct and indirect contributors into the city’s wastewater collection and treatment system. These regulations help the city to comply with state and federal laws required by the Clean Water Act.

Grease, oil and sand interceptors must be provided when, in the opinion of the Utility Director, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing high levels of grease, oil or sand. The exception is that such interceptors are not required for residential users.

All interceptor units should be of a type and capacity approved by the Utility Director and located where they are easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. The city will perform regular inspections of commercial interceptors. Maintenance of the interceptors is the responsibility of individual users.”

Grease Trap Cleaning for Restaurants in Jeffersonville, KY

Jeffersonville, IN is famous for being the birthplace of Papa Johns Pizza. The now-international pizza chain was started in the closet-turned-oven kitchen in Mick’s Lounge. Although the pizza moved out, Mick’s Lounge is still a functioning bar in Jeff today. Jeffersonville also has several other restaurants that make up the city. Some favorites include Parlour Pizza, KingFish, Union Restaurant & Gameyard, Schimpff’s Confectionery, Wrong Side 812, Geraldine’s Kitchen, The Red Yeti Restaurant & Brewpub, and more.

General guidelines for cleaning and maintenance of grease traps include:

1. Solid waste reduces the effective volume of the device and increases the frequency of cleaning. Grease traps and interceptors should be kept free at all times of solid materials like:
   1. Gravel
   2. Sand
   3. Bones
   4. Shells
   5. Cigarettes
   6. Utensils
   7. Towels
   8. Rags
2. The total depth of the surface FOG, combined with the settled solids, should not exceed approximately 25 % of the total depth of the liquid/solid column.
3. Based upon the above, a grease trap will typically require cleaning every 1-4 weeks, a grease interceptor will generally require cleaning every 2-4 months. However, the actual loading on a device will determine the specific cleaning schedule.
