Union Sanitary District's FOG program
Union Sanitary District treats wastewater for Union City, Fremont and Newark and runs a FOG program that inspects food service establishments in all three. USD's inspectors verify that a grease control device is installed and sized for the fixtures, check grease depth against the 25 percent standard, and review cleaning records. USD also requires that grease waste be hauled by a registered hauler with manifests.
The district has been proactive about education, but it does enforce, and a kitchen that contributes to a sanitary sewer overflow in a Union City main can be billed and cited. The district tends to focus inspections on the corridors with the most restaurants, which in Union City means Union Landing and Alvarado–Niles.
Our record lists grease depth, volume removed, condition and the manifest number, so a USD inspector sees everything the program calls for.
Union Landing, the Filipino and Indian kitchens, and the food plants
Union Landing is a large open-air center with dozens of chain and fast-casual restaurants sharing parking-lot interceptors. We pump those on a fixed calendar coordinated with property management and regional facilities teams, often combined with the same operators' Fremont and Hayward locations.
Along Alvarado–Niles Road, Decoto Road and in the Old Alvarado district, Union City's Filipino, Indian, Afghan and Mexican restaurants run small traps under heavy fry and curry loads. Ghee, pork fat and frying oil congeal quickly, and monthly service is common for those kitchens.
The western industrial area along Whipple Road and Central Avenue is home to bakeries, tortilla plants, prepared-food manufacturers and cold-storage distributors with large interceptors under pretreatment permits. We pump those with high-capacity trucks around production schedules.

Who runs grease trap inspections in Union City?
Union Sanitary District, which treats wastewater for Union City, Fremont and Newark. Its FOG inspectors check device sizing, grease depth and cleaning records.
Does Union Sanitary District require a registered grease hauler?
Yes. Grease trap waste must be removed by a registered hauler and disposed of at a permitted facility with a manifest. Our records include the manifest number.
How often should an Indian restaurant on Alvarado–Niles clean its trap?
Every four to six weeks is typical. Ghee and frying oil congeal quickly and fill a small trap fast. We measure grease depth each visit and adjust.
Do you pump the interceptors at Union Landing?
Yes. Union Landing's shared parking-lot interceptors are on a fixed calendar rotation coordinated with property management.
Can you pump a food plant's interceptor during our sanitation shift?
Yes. We schedule around production and can pump overnight or during sanitation windows so lines never stop.
What happens if grease from my kitchen causes an overflow in a Union City sewer?
The district can bill for cleanup and issue notices or penalties. A documented cleaning schedule with manifests is your best protection.
What is the cost of grease trap cleaning in Union City?
It depends on the size of the unit and the volume removed. Call (628) 221-4893 with the trap size for a firm price.
Do you offer emergency service in Union City?
Yes. Emergency pump-outs are dispatched seven days a week, and Union City is on our southern East Bay route.
Can you combine our Union City, Fremont and Newark locations?
Yes. All three USD cities are on the same route and can be scheduled as one rotation with consolidated invoicing.
Do you clean the baffles or just pump the trap?
Both. We pump the contents, scrape the walls and baffles, check the inlet and outlet fittings and refill the trap with water.
How do I store used fryer oil so it stays out of the trap?
Keep it in a sealed container provided by a used cooking oil recycler and never pour it down the sink. We can point you to a collection service.
What is a sample box and why does the inspector care?
It is a chamber on the outlet side of an interceptor where an inspector can draw a wastewater sample. Grease in the sample box means the interceptor is overloaded or damaged, so we clean and check it at every visit.
