Grease Trap Cleaning Mountain View, CA
For grease trap cleaning Mountain View CA restaurants and campus cafeterias can rely on overnight, our South Bay crew is on call. Mountain View has two food service worlds side by side: the dense restaurant row on Castro Street downtown, and the enormous campus cafeteria operations in North Bayshore that serve tens of thousands of meals a day. We clean and pump grease traps and interceptors in both, plus the restaurants at the San Antonio center and along El Camino Real, and provide records for the regional pretreatment program.
Mountain View is on our South Bay route with Sunnyvale and Palo Alto. Call (628) 221-4893 to schedule.

Campus cafeteria interceptors at scale
The tech campuses in North Bayshore and along Shoreline Boulevard run some of the largest food service operations in the state, with dozens of kitchens on a single campus draining to multiple in-ground interceptors, some over 3,000 gallons. Facilities teams and food service contractors need those pumped on a fixed rotation, itemized by interceptor, with one point of contact and consolidated invoicing.
We service campus interceptors overnight or early morning with high-capacity trucks, and can run two trucks on the largest units. Every interceptor gets its own record with grease depth, volume removed and condition, so a facilities manager can see at a glance which units are filling fastest.
Campus kitchens also fall under the pretreatment program run by the Palo Alto Regional Water Quality Control Plant, which treats Mountain View's wastewater. That program treats large cafeterias as significant dischargers and requires documented interceptor maintenance.
Castro Street, San Antonio and El Camino Real
Castro Street downtown is one of the South Bay's best restaurant rows, with Chinese, Indian, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese and Mediterranean kitchens in older two-story buildings. Most run indoor traps in rear kitchens or basements, and many share a trap with a neighbor. We identify which fixtures drain to which unit, clean the right one and issue each tenant a record.
The San Antonio center and the El Camino Real corridor hold chain and fast-casual restaurants with parking-lot interceptors that we pump on a fixed calendar for regional facilities managers.
Mountain View's public works department maintains the collection lines and coordinates with the regional plant when a grease blockage is traced to a kitchen. Downtown's older mains under Castro Street are where that happens most.

Who regulates grease from campus cafeterias in Mountain View?
The Palo Alto Regional Water Quality Control Plant's pretreatment program, which treats large cafeterias as significant dischargers and requires documented interceptor maintenance.
Our Castro Street restaurant shares a trap with the business next door. Can you service it?
Yes. We trace which fixtures drain to the trap, clean it and issue each tenant a record.
How often should a Castro Street restaurant clean its trap?
Every four to eight weeks for most menus. Wok and fry kitchens are at the shorter end. We measure grease depth each visit and adjust.
Do you pump the chain restaurant interceptors at the San Antonio center?
Yes. The San Antonio center and El Camino Real restaurant pads are on a fixed calendar rotation.
What does grease trap cleaning cost in Mountain View?
A Castro Street sink trap and a North Bayshore campus interceptor are priced very differently, based on size and volume removed. Call (628) 221-4893 with the unit size for a firm quote.

Yes. All three are on the same route and can be scheduled as one rotation with consolidated invoicing.
What does a per-interceptor record show a facilities manager?
Grease depth before pumping, volume removed and condition for each unit, so you can see which interceptors are filling fastest and adjust their rotation.
Can you clean my downtown trap before we open for lunch?
Yes. Before-hours service is routine on Castro Street and there is no surcharge.
What happens to the grease pumped from a Mountain View campus interceptor?
It is hauled in a sealed tank to a permitted grease receiving facility and logged by manifest number on the per-unit record, which is what the regional pretreatment program expects to see for a campus discharger.
