Staying Compliant
Georgia Compliance — Multi-Jurisdiction Expertise
Southwaste is fully licensed and permitted to operate in Georgia. Metro Atlanta presents a complex regulatory landscape — each county and many individual cities maintain their own FOG ordinances. We navigate this multi-jurisdictional environment with documentation formatted for Fulton County, Cobb County, DeKalb County, the City of Atlanta, and all metro municipal requirements. Our team stays current on ordinance changes across all Atlanta-area jurisdictions and ensures every service visit produces compliant paperwork for the specific city and county. For Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport — the world’s busiest airport — our technicians are badged for both airside and landside kitchen access.

Local Regulations
Texas Liquid Waste Regulations
Understanding Texas regulations for grease trap maintenance, liquid waste disposal, and commercial kitchen compliance is essential for any food service business. Here’s what Texas business owners and facility managers need to know.
Georgia State Requirements
Every commercial kitchen in Georgia must maintain a properly functioning grease interceptor. State-level regulations set the baseline for pump-out frequency, record-keeping, and disposal documentation. Southwaste is fully permitted and stays current on all Georgia environmental agency requirements.
-
Georgia Compliant
-
Fulton & Cobb County Licensed
-
City of Atlanta Registered
Local Ordinances in Georgia
Beyond state requirements, individual cities and counties in Georgia enforce their own FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease) control programs. Health inspectors check for current pump-out records, proper interceptor sizing, and maintenance logs during every inspection. Southwaste automatically navigates all of these local requirements.
-
Regular pump-out documentation formatted per jurisdiction
-
25% rule enforced — pump before grease exceeds 25% of trap capacity
-
All liquid waste must be hauled by a licensed, permitted transporter
Documentation & Record-Keeping
Every Southwaste service visit includes complete, Georgia-formatted documentation: date of service, volume pumped, technician certification, disposal manifest, and interceptor condition notes. We provide both digital copies for your records and printed copies for inspector review.

Consequences of Non-Compliance
Failing to maintain compliant grease trap service in Georgia isn’t just a paperwork issue — it has real consequences. Health code violations, fines starting at several hundred dollars per incident, mandatory compliance timelines, and in severe cases, closure orders. Beyond regulatory penalties, blocked drains from neglected grease traps cause kitchen shutdowns, lost revenue, and emergency plumbing costs that far exceed the cost of regular service.
