FOG & Grease Trap Rules by State
State-by-state FOG (fats, oils, grease) and grease-trap guidance for food-service operators. Local sewer utilities can be stricter than a statewide code or baseline.
Rules change; confirm with your local utility or pretreatment office before relying on a frequency, permit, record-retention rule, or penalty. For service-vendor questions, see choose a hauler and how often to pump.
