Collect kitchen-exhaust residues according to their actual grease, cleaning-chemical and water composition. Before starting work, agree with the client how residues will be contained and who will arrange their assessed disposal.
Information to gather
- Retain the cleaning-product safety data and identify incompatible residues.
- Plan containment so wash liquids do not escape into stormwater.
- Ask the waste operator to confirm classification, acceptance and required documentation.
What to check before deciding
A grease-service price does not establish the cost or acceptance of chemical hood-cleaning waste. Do not discharge into a client's sewer on the assumption that their food-business agreement covers your cleaning activity.
Victorian industrial waste must be classified and sent to a lawful receiving place. See EPA Victoria - Understand your waste obligations and duties.
Yarra Valley Water requires an agreement for business wastewater discharged to its sewer; site conditions determine acceptance and charges. See Yarra Valley Water - Trade Waste.
