Central San's FOG program in Concord
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, known locally as Central San, treats wastewater for Concord and inspects food service establishments under a well-established FOG program. Central San's inspectors are among the most active in the Bay Area. They verify grease device sizing against the fixtures connected, check grease depth against the 25 percent standard, and ask for maintenance records covering the past several years.
Central San also requires that grease waste be hauled by a registered hauler and disposed of at a permitted facility, and inspectors check the manifest numbers on your records. Ours meet that standard on every job.
Concord's own public works department maintains the collection lines and coordinates with Central San when a blockage is traced to a food establishment. If you have had a notice from either, we can get you cleaned and documented quickly.
Todos Santos, Monument Boulevard and the industrial food sector
Downtown Concord around Todos Santos Plaza has grown into a lively restaurant district with breweries, wine bars and full-service restaurants in a mix of old and new buildings. Traps range from small rear-kitchen units to shared interceptors under the newer mixed-use projects, and we service both before opening.
Monument Boulevard is one of the East Bay's richest Latin American food corridors, with taquerias, pupuserias, panaderias and markets running small traps under heavy loads. Monthly service is standard there and prevents the overflows that draw Central San's attention.
Concord's industrial areas along Arnold Industrial Way and near the Naval Weapons Station host food distributors, bakeries and commissaries with large interceptors under pretreatment permits. We pump those with high-capacity trucks on a rotation timed to sanitation shifts.

Who inspects grease traps in Concord?
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, known as Central San, runs the FOG inspection program for Concord and the surrounding cities. Inspectors verify device sizing, grease depth and maintenance records.
Does Central San require a registered hauler for grease trap waste?
Yes. Grease waste must be removed by a registered hauler and disposed of at a permitted facility, with manifest numbers on the record. We meet that requirement on every job.
How often should a Monument Boulevard taqueria clean its trap?
Monthly is typical for high-volume kitchens with small traps. We measure grease depth every visit and can extend the interval if the trap is filling more slowly.
Do you service the breweries and restaurants around Todos Santos Plaza?
Yes. Downtown Concord is on our regular Contra Costa route and most downtown jobs are scheduled before opening.
Can you pump a food distributor's interceptor without stopping operations?
Yes. We schedule around production, typically during sanitation shifts or overnight, and itemize the record by interceptor for the pretreatment permit file.
What does Central San consider a properly sized grease trap?
Sizing depends on the fixtures connected and their flow rate. Inspectors compare the trap's rating to the connected fixtures. We note the trap size and connected fixtures on our record so you know where you stand.
What does grease trap cleaning cost in Concord?
Concord pricing depends on the size of the unit and how much waste comes out of it. Call (628) 221-4893 with the trap size and we will quote a firm number before the truck rolls.
Do you handle emergency overflows in Concord?
Yes. Emergency pump-outs are dispatched seven days a week, and Concord is on our regular Contra Costa route.
Can you combine our Concord, Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill locations?
Yes. All of central Contra Costa is on the same route and can be scheduled as one rotation with consolidated invoicing.
Do you service the interceptors at Sunvalley Mall restaurants?
Yes. The mall and surrounding restaurant pads are on a fixed calendar rotation coordinated with property management.
Why do you refill the trap with water after cleaning?
A trap only separates grease when it is full of water. An empty trap lets the first dishwater flow straight through to the sewer, so we refill it before we leave.
What records should I keep for a Central San inspection?
Dated service records with grease depth, volume removed, condition notes and manifest numbers, kept on site for at least three years. Ours include all of that.
