Hauler manifest filed (date, gallons, destination) plus a service report for your DC Water / WSSC / county records.

Downtown DC grease trap service navigates high-rise tower freight-elevator logistics, federal-building security overlay on after-hours access, and convention-center hotel banquet institutional-scale trap configurations. Most downtown restaurants run on 60–90 day pumping cadence; hotel banquet kitchens at the Marriott Marquis, Renaissance, and Conrad use larger traps requiring shorter intervals during heavy-show months. DC Water enforces the FOG-management requirements.
