Houston grease trap pumping: stay on the 90-day schedule

What “pumping” means in Houston

• Full evacuation of the interceptor (not a skim) at least every 90 days (§47-512(b)).
• Permitted transporter only; city-approved manifest required (HHD).
• Generator keeps white/yellow copies 5 years; returns generator copy within 15 days.

Free path for kitchens

1. Set free reminders for Houston’s 90-day schedule (14 days before, 3 days before, due day).
2. When a due date is close, start a PumpDue alert — Featured Houston pumpers get the job and bid in one thread you can see.
3. Pick the bid you want. The 5% service fee invoices the Featured pumper, not the kitchen.

Kitchens use GreaseTrapRules free. No card required for reminders or PumpDue alerts.
