When it comes to running a commercial kitchen, managing waste is an important part of keeping things running smoothly. One type of waste that can be particularly problematic is oil and grease. These substances can cause blockages in drains and pipes, leading to backups and even costly repairs. That's where central oil and grease traps come in.
