Grease Trap Locator

What is Grease Trap Locator?

Grease Trap Locator is a free B2B directory that connects restaurants and food service operators with grease trap pumping and FOG (Fats, Oils & Grease) compliance contractors across the United States and Canada. It indexes 1,915+ contractors spanning all 50 US states and 11 Canadian provinces, with listings that show real company names, direct phone and email contacts, license numbers where provided, and the service areas each contractor actually covers. The directory is built around a simple premise: facility managers should be able to find a licensed contractor and reach them directly, without referral fees or lead-generation markups inflating the cost of a routine service visit.

Who it's for

• Restaurant owners and operators — anyone who needs a licensed contractor to pump a grease trap and issue a valid waste manifest on a recurring schedule.
• Facility managers in commercial kitchens — hotels, hospitals, and school cafeterias that must manage FOG before wastewater enters the municipal sewer.
• Multi-site food service teams — operators who need to locate compliant contractors across several states or provinces without working through aggregators.

Key features

Contractor search by location

Enter a city, state, or zip code to see the grease trap contractors listed for that area. Results surface service area and direct contact details without a paywall.

Direct contact information

Each listing shows the contractor's real company name along with direct phone and email. Inquiries go straight to the contractor rather than through a call center or lead form.

License and manifest details

Listings include license numbers where the contractor has provided them, checked against state records, and waste manifest support is confirmed on the listing.

FOG compliance tools and calculators

Free tools and calculators cover how often a trap legally needs cleaning, what interceptor size a kitchen requires, and what fines look like by state.

What stands out

Zero referral fees on both sides — contractors list free, and facility managers search free.

That matters because aggregator sites typically charge $50–$200 per referral, a cost that gets passed through as a 15–20% markup on every service visit. By cutting out the middleman, Grease Trap Locator lets operators see a contractor's real rate and contact them directly. The directory also publishes context on the stakes: an average FOG violation fine of $25K+, and EPA data attributing roughly 85% of sanitary sewer overflows in commercial areas to fats, oils, and grease.

Worth checking out if…

You manage a commercial kitchen and need a licensed grease trap contractor without paying a referral markup, or you want a straightforward way to compare local providers by service area and contact details. It's also useful if you're unsure how often your trap legally needs cleaning or what interceptor size your kitchen requires and want free compliance guidance before you call.
