Local Regulations

Jacksonville Grease Trap Compliance

Florida DEP regulates grease trap maintenance statewide, and Duval County — operating under a consolidated city-county government — enforces additional FOG control requirements through the City of Jacksonville. Grease traps must be pumped when FOG accumulation reaches 25% of total volume; for most Jacksonville kitchens, that means every 30–60 days. Southwaste is fully Florida DEP-permitted to haul, process, and dispose of liquid waste, and we provide complete compliance documentation accepted by Florida DBPR inspectors and Duval County health officials. Our Master Plumber license covers any repair, replacement, or new installation work.

Common Questions

Jacksonville Grease Trap FAQ

Everything Jacksonville kitchen operators need to know about grease trap service, compliance, and what to expect when working with Southwaste.

What Florida DEP regulations apply to grease traps in Jacksonville?

L
K
Florida DEP requires all food service establishments to maintain grease traps and pump when FOG reaches 25% of trap volume. Duval County, under its consolidated government, enforces additional FOG ordinances. Southwaste is fully DEP-permitted and provides documentation compliant with both DBPR and Duval County health inspections.

Do you service the Jacksonville Beaches and Ponte Vedra?

L
K
Absolutely. We run regular routes through Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and Ponte Vedra Beach. Beachfront restaurants and resorts get the same reliable service with route-optimized scheduling that keeps response times low across the coastal corridor.

Can you handle grease traps at Naval Station Mayport and NAS Jacksonville?

L
K
Yes. Our technicians are security-cleared for Naval Station Mayport, NAS Jacksonville, and the broader First Coast military community, including Kings Bay. We handle on-base galley, DFAC, and exchange food court grease traps with full protocol compliance.

Do you service JAXPORT cruise terminal and portside restaurants?

L
K
Yes — JAXPORT dining operations are a core part of our Jacksonville service area. We provide turn-day and embarkation-day surge service that matches cruise ship schedules, ensuring portside kitchens are ready for every vessel departure.

How do you handle Jacksonville's hurricane season?

L
K
Florida hurricane season (June–November) demands preparedness. We offer pre-storm pump-out service to get your grease trap to minimum levels before a storm hits, reducing overflow risk during heavy rains and coastal flooding events along the First Coast.
