The Industrial Archive for
Grease Trap Services
The directory of grease trap and FOG compliance contractors across North America.
Our Mission
GreaseTrapLocator exists to solve one problem: finding a qualified, licensed grease trap contractor in your jurisdiction is unreasonably difficult. Restaurants, hotels, food processors, and municipalities across North America face FOG compliance requirements that demand reliable service providers — and finding them shouldn't require calling a dozen numbers or sifting through outdated directories.
We built the Industrial Archive to change that. Listings are compiled from state and provincial licensing databases and public business records, so you can start from contractors who are actually licensed to do the work.
Our goal is simple: make it as easy to find a qualified grease trap contractor as it is to find anything else on the internet. No middlemen. No lead forms. Direct contact, every time.
How We Build and Maintain Listings
Listings are compiled from state and provincial licensing databases and public business records, with licence numbers recorded where available. Our regulatory sources are automatically re-checked on a rolling 30-day cycle, and guides are updated when a source changes. Contractors can claim their listing to verify and update their own details.
Who Writes and Maintains This Site
GreaseTrapLocator is researched, written, and maintained by Alex — a single owner-operator, not an editorial staff. Every state and provincial regulation guide, cost guide, and tool on the site is my work, and I am responsible for its accuracy.
Every regulation guide is cross-referenced against primary sources — state environmental agencies, plumbing codes, and municipal FOG ordinances — and links to them directly, so you can check the original text yourself. Source links are re-checked automatically on a rolling 30-day cycle, and guides are updated when a source changes.
The reference tools are being brought up to that same standard. Parts of the violation-fines database were first compiled with AI-assisted research, and I am now re-verifying every figure directly against the source ordinance or fee schedule. Corrected figures go live as they are confirmed, and a source citation will appear alongside each entry as this pass completes. Until then, treat the database as a starting point and confirm the current figure with the city before relying on it.
Contractors cannot pay to be added to the directory, removed from it, or to change what a guide says. Paid options affect placement only, and are labeled.
If you find an error — a figure, a requirement, a dead link — email me at [email protected] and I will check it against the source and correct the page.
Regulations change, and enforcement varies by municipality and often by individual inspector. Always confirm requirements with your local authority having jurisdiction before purchasing equipment or scheduling work.
Who Uses GTL
Our primary users are facility managers, restaurant operators, compliance officers, and municipal inspectors who need to quickly identify qualified contractors in a specific geographic area. We also serve contractors directly — claimed listings receive more qualified inquiries with less friction than traditional directories.
