The 25% Capacity Rule
When a grease trap reaches 25% of its internal volume (filled with fats, oils, grease or solids), it must be emptied. C Brieze Waste Solutions structures maintenance cycles around this specific standard to prevent FOG from escaping into the sewer, stop foul smells, and keep you 100% compliant with inspectors.

Choose the plan that fits your business volume. All cycles ensure the 25% fill threshold is never exceeded.
