Alberta's approach to grease trap and fats, oils, and greases (FOG) management falls under the provincial Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA) and associated regulations, which are administered by Alberta Environment and Protected Areas. While Alberta does not operate a province-wide FOG discharge program comparable to some other provinces, municipalities across the province have adopted their own sewer-use bylaws that establish local requirements for grease trap installation, maintenance, and compliance. These bylaws are enforced by municipal public works and environmental health departments, making local jurisdiction the primary regulatory touchstone for commercial food service operators. Property owners and operators of food-service establishments are responsible for ensuring that grease traps are properly sized, installed, and maintained to prevent FOG from entering municipal sanitary sewers, which can cause blockages, infrastructure damage, and treatment plant upsets.
In Calgary, the largest city in the province, municipal sewer-use regulations require food-service establishments to install and maintain approved grease-intercepting devices and to conduct regular cleaning and waste disposal in accordance with the city's Environmental Bylaw. Edmonton similarly enforces municipal requirements for grease trap maintenance and proper FOG handling through its Health and Safety Standards and Wastewater System bylaws, with inspections and compliance monitoring conducted by the city's environmental health and utilities services. Both cities maintain records of grease trap maintenance and may issue violations or fines to operators who fail to maintain compliant systems. Across Alberta's urban centers, the standard practice is for operators to contract with licensed plumbing or environmental service providers to ensure their grease traps meet or exceed municipal specifications and are cleaned on a schedule that prevents overflow and discharge.
