Grease Trap Cleaning for Universities, Colleges and Schools

School administrators, especially those decision makers who are responsible for services that affect student satisfaction, health and safety, have an extraordinary number of vital duties. Working with a variety of vendors (of varying degrees of reliability and quality) is an unavoidable aspect of the job.


When it comes down to it, business-to-business vendor relationships can fit cleanly into one of two potential categories: they either make your life easier or make your life harder (and more stressful). A good vendor always shows up on a time and delivers or provides the service you pay them to do without fail. You can stop thinking about that particular duty for as long as the vendor relationship lasts because you know that, on default, they’ll do what needs to be done without you needing to intervene.


Southern Green Industries is undeniably a leader in the grease trap cleaning and waste fryer oil recycling industry because we have a reputation for providing that kind of service. We’re the reliable vendor who does what needs doing when it needs to be done. Our institutional clients don’t need to worry about passing surprise grease trap inspections because we always do the job on time, properly and provide the manifests you need to prove compliance with local ordinances.


If you’re in the market for a vendor relationship that won’t keep you up at night, Southern Green Industries is the obvious choice.


Committed to Environmental Responsibility


Grease traps and waste oil are generally not synonymous with ecological responsibility. They both have to do with waste that can cause significant issues in the environment or if they escape into the sewer system as FOG. At Southern Green Industries, we emphasize the green in our name because we truly go above and beyond to minimize our carbon footprint and the waste output of our clients.


Our entire fleet of vehicles has been converted to biodiesel, which is far cleaner than traditional petroleum gasoline or diesel. We actually recycle the waste fryer oil we collect (and pay our clients for) into the biodiesel that then powers our trucks, creating a clean circle that minimizes our waste output. We even have our own wastewater treatment center to ensure the contaminated water we pull out of grease traps is responsibly dealt with.


Many businesses and organizations want to advertise themselves as green and environmentally responsible, but they end up using vendors or suppliers who don’t show any concern for the ecological stability of Georgia or the world at large. We’re proud to be an exception to that apathy.


If your students, administrators and donors care about the environment (and it’s safe to assume they do), it makes sense to utilize green services when they are available, and we’re proud to be the greenest grease trap cleaning and waste oil recycling company in Georgia.   


Fair, Worry-Free Waste Fryer Oil Recycling


Waste fryer oil isn’t just waste – it’s a commodity in its own right. We recycle waste fryer oil into biodiesel for our fleet, but that’s just one of the many potential industrial uses. It would be unfair of us to simply take what is a valuable asset and not compensate our customers in return, which is why we offer a convenient dashboard for clients where they can track exactly how much oil we collect and how much they’re paid for their waste oil. This is especially important for large institutional clients where the volume of their waste oil can make a real difference in terms of costs. Most clients then use those funds to defray the cost of their other grease trap cleaning services.


Accountability is important, and we strive to be transparent in all of our dealings. We also go out of our way to make the process of storing waste oil easy and worry free. Our team can provide custom fabricated storage containers to fit the needs of your cafeterias and regularly schedule pickups and cleanings at times when we can minimize disruption to your operations and students.
