Trap the Grease® Fat Trapper System
Stop Sewer Backups. Reduce Maintenance Costs. Protect Your Community.
Fat, oil, and grease do not belong in your wastewater system. When poured down the drain, cooking grease cools, hardens, and sticks to pipe walls. Over time, it becomes one of the leading causes of sewer backups, overflows, and costly emergency repairs.
Trap the Grease is a proven, low-cost solution that helps cities, wastewater departments, and multi-family properties stop grease at the source. By giving residents a simple, practical way to dispose of cooking grease, utilities see real reductions in grease-related issues instead of relying on education alone.
Since 1995, municipalities across the country have trusted the Trap the Grease Fat Trapper System as part of proactive maintenance and public outreach programs.
The Problem: Grease Is the #1 Cause of Sewer Blockages
Cooking fats, oils, and grease don’t disappear when poured down the drain. They cool, harden, and accumulate inside pipes—leading to:
- Costly sewer backups and overflows
- Emergency service calls and repairs
- Environmental contamination
- Public complaints and health risks
Traditional education campaigns alone aren’t enough. People need an easy alternative.
The Solution: Trap the Grease® Fat Trapper System
The Trap the Grease Fat Trapper System gives residents a clean, convenient way to capture and dispose of household grease before it enters the sewer system.
It’s simple:
- Pour cooled cooking grease into the bag
- Seal it to lock in grease and odors

- Dispose in the trash—no mess, no clogs
This small habit change creates a big reduction in sewer blockages.
