Hayward's FOG program and its inspection cycle
The City of Hayward's Water Pollution Source Control program inspects food service establishments on a rotating cycle and after any grease-related sewer problem nearby. Inspectors check that the trap or interceptor is sized for the fixtures connected to it, that it has a working flow control fitting where required, and that grease and solids are being cleaned out before they exceed 25 percent of the unit's depth.
They also ask for cleaning records covering the past several years and will issue a notice if a kitchen cannot produce them. Our service record includes the measurements an inspector looks for and the manifest number showing where the waste went.
Hayward has been particularly active about kitchens that pour fryer oil down the drain. That oil overwhelms a trap in days. We will flag it if we see evidence of it, and we can point you to a used cooking oil recycler so both streams are handled properly.
Downtown taquerias, Southland chains and west-of-880 food plants
Downtown Hayward and the Mission Boulevard corridor hold dozens of independent Mexican, Filipino, Indian and Afghan restaurants with small traps and fry-heavy menus. Those kitchens are the most frequent emergency callers in the city, and a monthly rotation almost always ends that pattern.
Around Southland Mall and along Hesperian Boulevard the restaurants are mostly chains with parking-lot interceptors, which regional facilities managers want pumped on a fixed calendar with one invoice. We can fold those into the same rotation as their San Leandro or Fremont locations.
West of I-880, Hayward's industrial district has bakeries, tortilla plants, seafood processors and beverage bottlers running large interceptors under pretreatment permits. We pump those with high-capacity trucks, inspect baffles and outlet fittings, and time the work to sanitation shifts so production is never interrupted.

How often does the City of Hayward inspect restaurant grease traps?
Food service establishments are inspected on a rotating cycle and after any grease-related sewer issue nearby. Keeping current records on site makes the visit quick.
Does Hayward require a flow control fitting on grease traps?
Passive indoor traps generally need a vented flow control fitting to work as rated, and inspectors look for it. We will tell you if yours is missing or clogged.
How often should a Mission Boulevard taqueria clean its trap?
Every four to six weeks for most fry-heavy kitchens with small traps. We measure grease depth each visit and adjust the interval if the trap is filling faster or slower than expected.
Can you pump a tortilla plant interceptor without stopping production?
Yes. We schedule pump-outs during sanitation shifts or overnight when the interceptor is offline, and itemize the record for the pretreatment permit file.
Do you pump interceptors for the chain restaurants around Southland Mall?
Yes. Those parking-lot interceptors are on a fixed calendar rotation, and we can combine them with the same operator's locations in nearby cities on one invoice.
What happens if I pour fryer oil down the sink?
It fills the trap within days and can send grease straight into the city sewer. Hayward inspectors watch for it. Fryer oil belongs in a separate container collected by a recycler.
Do you service the dining facilities at Cal State East Bay?
Yes. Campus dining interceptors are serviced on a scheduled rotation coordinated with facilities staff.
Where does the grease from a Hayward trap end up?
It is hauled to a permitted receiving facility that treats the water and processes the grease, and that facility appears on the manifest number on your Hayward service record. Nothing is discharged into the city's collection system.
What does grease trap cleaning cost in Hayward?
It depends on the size of the unit and the volume removed. Small traps cost less than large interceptors. Call (628) 221-4893 with the size for a firm price.
Do you offer emergency grease trap service in Hayward?
Yes. Emergency pump-outs are dispatched seven days a week, and Hayward is on our regular East Bay route.
Can you also cover our locations in Union City and San Leandro?
Yes. Hayward, San Leandro, Union City and Fremont are all on the same route and can be combined into one rotation with consolidated invoicing.
How do I read the grease depth measurement on my record?
It shows how deep the floating grease and settled solids were as a percentage of the trap's liquid depth. If it is approaching 25 percent at each visit, the interval is about right; if it is well past, we should come more often.
