What Are FOG Regulations?
FOG regulations are designed to prevent fats, oils, and grease from clogging sewer systems and damaging wastewater infrastructure. North Carolina cities and counties require food service establishments (FSEs) to:
Use spill-proof, compliant grease containers.
Maintain grease traps and interceptors regularly.
Keep detailed records of grease pickups and trap maintenance for inspections.
Examples of Local Ordinances:
Mecklenburg County: Requires grease trap inspections every 90 days and mandates proper waste documentation.
Wake County (Raleigh): Enforces strict grease management to prevent sewer overflows, with penalties for non-compliance.
Forsyth County (Winston-Salem): Requires regular grease removal and detailed documentation for compliance checks.

Was a pleasure working with Liquid Recovery Solutions. Looked into getting rid of our oil waste in the area. Glad I was able to find them and work with them in a timely manner. Whole process went really smooth, from quick collection of oil waste to clear communications. First time using their service but definitely not the last.
