Running a commercial kitchen means managing more than what happens on the cookline. Behind the scenes, used cooking oil, grease traps, drains, and wastewater systems all need proper maintenance to keep your business operating smoothly.


That's why we're excited to announce that Phibro RenewOil has partnered with Wind River Environmental to give our customers access to professional grease trap cleaning and maintenance services.

Through this partnership, Phibro RenewOil customers can now connect with Wind River Environmental for grease trap assessments, routine cleaning, preventative maintenance, drain services, and other commercial wastewater needs.


Together, we're making it easier for restaurants and foodservice businesses to take a more proactive approach to grease management.



Expanding Our Grease Management Solutions

At Phibro RenewOil, our focus has always been making used cooking oil management as simple as possible for our customers.


We provide secure used cooking oil collection containers, reliable pickups, smart sensor remote container monitoring, and responsible recycling for restaurants and commercial kitchens.


But used cooking oil is only one part of grease management.


Fats, oils, and grease can also accumulate inside grease traps, interceptors, drains, and wastewater lines. Without regular maintenance, that buildup can contribute to slow drains, unpleasant odors, backups, overflows, and unexpected interruptions to your business.


Through our partnership with Wind River Environmental, customers now have access to an experienced team specializing in commercial grease trap and wastewater maintenance.



Professional Grease Trap Cleaning for Restaurants and Commercial Kitchens

Grease traps and grease interceptors are designed to prevent fats, oils, and grease from entering sewer and wastewater systems.


Over time, however, grease and solids accumulate inside these systems and need to be professionally removed.

Regular commercial grease trap cleaning can help:

  • Reduce the risk of backups and overflows

  • Control unpleasant odors

  • Keep drains flowing properly

  • Reduce unexpected plumbing emergencies

  • Support local grease and wastewater compliance requirements

  • Keep commercial kitchens operating with fewer disruptions


Wind River Environmental services both indoor grease traps and larger outdoor grease interceptors and offers routine as well as emergency grease trap services.



Start With a Free Grease Trap Assessment

Every commercial kitchen is different, which means grease trap maintenance shouldn't be approached with a one size fits all schedule.


As part of this new partnership, Phibro RenewOil customers can receive a free grease trap assessment tailored to their system's size and usage.


The assessment can help evaluate your current system and determine an appropriate maintenance schedule based on factors such as your kitchen volume, grease production, equipment, and operating needs.


Rather than waiting until you experience a backup or other problem, this gives your business an opportunity to understand what your system needs and develop a preventative maintenance plan.



Catch Problems Before They Become Emergencies

One of the biggest advantages of preventative grease trap maintenance is identifying potential issues before they interrupt your operation.


Signs of an improperly maintained grease system can include:

  • Slow draining sinks

  • Recurring drain clogs

  • Persistent odors

  • Excessive grease buildup

  • Wastewater backups

  • Overflowing grease traps


Routine cleaning and inspections can help identify buildup or equipment issues early, reducing the likelihood that a relatively small maintenance issue turns into an expensive emergency.

Wind River Environmental's preventative maintenance programs are specifically designed to identify potential problems before they develop into larger backups, clogs, overflows, or equipment failures.



Grease Trap Cleaning and Used Cooking Oil Collection Work Together

Although they're often discussed together, used cooking oil collection and grease trap cleaning serve two different purposes in a commercial kitchen.


Used cooking oil from fryers should be stored in a dedicated collection container rather than poured down a drain. Phibro RenewOil collects this oil so it can be recycled and given a second life.


Grease traps, meanwhile, capture fats, oils, grease, and solids that enter your kitchen's wastewater system during normal operations.

Both systems require proper management.


By combining Phibro RenewOil's used cooking oil collection services with access to Wind River Environmental's grease trap maintenance expertise, restaurants can take a more complete approach to managing grease throughout their operation.



More Than Grease Trap Cleaning

This partnership also gives Phibro RenewOil customers access to a broader range of commercial wastewater expertise when needed.


In addition to grease trap cleaning and pumping, Wind River Environmental provides services including commercial drain cleaning, sewer line maintenance, hydro jetting, grease trap inspections, preventative maintenance, and emergency wastewater response.


This gives restaurant owners and operators a trusted resource to turn to when grease, drains, or wastewater systems need professional attention.



One Goal: Keep Your Business Running Smoothly

The best grease management program is one you rarely have to think about. Phibro RenewOil already helps take used cooking oil management off your team's plate with reliable collection, secure containers, remote monitoring technology, and dependable service.

Our partnership with Wind River Environmental extends that philosophy to another critical part of your kitchen.


Instead of waiting for a grease trap backup, persistent odor, clogged drain, or emergency service call, you can take a proactive approach to maintaining the systems your kitchen relies on every day.


It's another way we're working to provide Phibro RenewOil customers with dependable solutions that protect their businesses, reduce unnecessary disruptions, and keep operations running smoothly.
