Local Regulations
San Antonio Grease Trap Compliance
SAWS enforces strict FOG control regulations. All food service establishments must maintain grease traps and keep records of pumping frequency. The 25% rule applies — pump when FOG and solids reach 25% of trap volume. Southwaste provides SAWS-compliant documentation with every service, including digital manifests and before/after photos. Our licensed plumbers can also handle grease trap repairs, replacements, and new installations to meet SAWS sizing requirements.

Our San Antonio team is positioned across Bexar County for rapid response — most calls get a truck on-site within 90 minutes. We stock vacuum trucks north, central, and northeast of the city to ensure coverage wherever you are in the metro area.
