Local Regulations

Atlanta Grease Trap Compliance

The Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) regulates FOG discharge statewide, and the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management enforces additional FOG control requirements. Grease traps must be pumped when FOG accumulation reaches 25% of total volume. Southwaste is fully permitted in Georgia and provides complete compliance documentation accepted by Atlanta Watershed Management, Fulton County health inspectors, and all metro Atlanta municipalities.
