About
Keep your kitchen compliant with expert grease trap cleaning
Grease traps play a vital role in preventing fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from entering wastewater systems—but without regular cleaning, they can quickly become a health hazard and a compliance issue. Cleanaway offers professional, EPA-compliant grease trap cleaning services for commercial kitchens, food outlets, and hospitality venues across Australia.
Our trained technicians ensure your grease trap is cleaned thoroughly, waste is removed safely, and your business remains compliant with local water authority regulations.
