Dallas regulates fats, oils, and grease (FOG) because they clog sewers and cause overflows. The rule for your kitchen:
- Pump out at least every 90 days — by a licensed hauler, no exceptions
- 100% of contents removed — partial pump-outs don't comply
- Manifests kept 3 years — signed proof of every service, available for inspection
- Proper disposal — waste goes to approved facilities, with a paper trail
What happens if you ignore it?
- FOG violations and fines that dwarf the cost of cleaning
- Liability if your grease causes a sewer overflow
- Problems with health inspections and permits
The easy path: a quarterly maintenance plan. We show up every 90 days, pump, file the manifest, and invoice once. You stay compliant without thinking about it.

Ask about quarterly plans — set it and forget it.
