The Novato Sanitary District's grease program
The Novato Sanitary District operates its own collection system and treatment plant and runs a source control program that includes FOG. District staff inspect food service establishments, verify grease device sizing, check grease depth against the 25 percent standard and ask for cleaning records. They are a small agency that knows its restaurants and responds fast to a blockage.
Novato's older sewer mains under Grant Avenue and the Old Town side streets are where the district sees the most grease trouble, and restaurants there are inspected most frequently.
Our record lists grease depth, volume removed, condition notes and manifest number in a format the district's staff recognize.
Old Town, the shopping centers and Hamilton
Grant Avenue's restaurants sit in older storefronts with rear kitchens and alley access. We service them before opening, parking behind the buildings or on the side streets and running hose to the trap.
Vintage Oaks, the Redwood Boulevard corridor and the shopping centers near the freeway hold chain and fast-casual restaurants with parking-lot interceptors that we pump on a fixed calendar, often combined with the same operators' San Rafael locations.
Hamilton, the redeveloped former air base, has newer restaurants and a hotel with modern interceptors, while Bel Marin Keys hosts caterers and food producers in the industrial park. We service both on scheduled rotations.

Who inspects grease traps in Novato?
The Novato Sanitary District's source control staff, who verify device sizing, grease depth and cleaning records.
How often should a Grant Avenue restaurant clean its trap?
Every four to eight weeks for most Old Town menus, depending on trap size. The older mains under Grant Avenue argue for the shorter end. We measure grease depth each visit and set the interval.
Can you reach a rear-kitchen trap in Old Town?
Yes. We park behind the building or on a side street and run hose through the alley door before opening.
Do you pump the chain restaurant interceptors at Vintage Oaks?
Yes. Vintage Oaks and the Redwood Boulevard centers are on a fixed calendar rotation for their parking-lot interceptors.
Do you service caterers and food producers at Bel Marin Keys?
Yes. The industrial park's food businesses are on scheduled rotations, with records itemized by interceptor for any permit file.
What does the Novato Sanitary District expect in my records?
Dated service records with grease depth, volume removed, condition notes and manifest numbers, kept on site. Ours include all of that.
What does grease trap cleaning cost in Novato?
It depends on the trap size and how much comes out. Call (628) 221-4893 with the unit size and we will quote a firm price for your Novato location.
Do you offer emergency service in Novato?
Yes. Emergency pump-outs are dispatched seven days a week, and Novato is the northern end of our Marin route, so a crew is often already nearby.
Can you combine our Novato and San Rafael locations?
Yes. Both are on the same Marin route and can be scheduled together with consolidated invoicing.
Do you also serve Petaluma?
Yes. Petaluma is a short run north of Novato and can be added to the same schedule.
Do you service the Hamilton hotel and restaurants?
Yes. Hamilton's newer interceptors are on scheduled rotations coordinated with property and hotel management.
What is the 25 percent standard?
Grease and solids combined should not exceed 25 percent of the trap's liquid depth. Past that, the trap stops separating grease effectively and needs to be cleaned.
