Trap the grease®
Why Trapping Grease Matters
Grease blockages in sewer pipes are a direct result of fats, oils, and grease being poured down drains. Once grease cools, it hardens and adheres to pipe walls. Over time, this buildup restricts flow, causes backups, and leads to expensive maintenance and emergency repairs.
FOG-related issues are among the most common and most preventable causes of sewer overflows. Trap the Grease stops the problem at the source by giving residents a clear, convenient alternative.
How Trap the Grease Saves Money
Preventative grease disposal programs cost significantly less than reactive sewer repairs.
Benefits include:
- Fewer grease-related blockages
- Reduced jetting and maintenance costs
- Lower risk of overflows and environmental violations
- Extended life of sewer infrastructure
- Improved relationships with residents and property owners
A small investment in prevention can eliminate one of the most persistent problems in wastewater systems.
Built for Bulk Programs
Trap the Grease programs are already being used by wastewater departments across the country as a proactive maintenance and education initiative.
Many utilities choose to provide the Fat Trapper free to residents as part of a grease reduction campaign. Residents feel good receiving something practical after paying their bill, and utilities benefit from fewer grease-related service calls.
Bulk purchasing is ideal for:
- Wastewater utilities
- Cities and municipalities
- Apartment complexes and property management groups
- HOAs and community programs
Co-branding options are available, allowing your logo and educational messaging to appear directly on the product. This turns a maintenance solution into a visible public education and PR tool.
