City of Edmonton Bylaws
Edmonton City Bylaws for Grease Traps
If you operate a restaurant or commercial kitchen in Edmonton, you're required to follow municipal bylaws regarding grease trap maintenance and waste disposal. Staying compliant isn’t just about avoiding fines—it’s about protecting the city’s water systems and keeping your business running without disruption.
At City Grease Trap Services, we help restaurant owners understand and meet the City of Edmonton’s grease trap cleaning requirements, ensuring you stay up to code and avoid unnecessary issues.
Why Grease Trap Regulations Exist in Edmonton
The City of Edmonton enforces grease trap regulations to prevent fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from entering the municipal sewer system. When grease enters the sewer lines, it solidifies and causes:
Blockages and sewer backups
Increased municipal maintenance costs
Environmental hazards
Business fines and closures
To protect the system, commercial food establishments are legally required to have functional grease traps and maintain them regularly.
