Frisco: the official sources we checked say “every 90 operational days; full evacuation at least 4 times a year”, but don't set a fixed pumping interval. Source: City of Frisco Public Works (Liquid Waste Ordinance No. 2023-09-40), checked 2026-11-02.

The official sources we checked don't list a fine amount for Frisco. That doesn't mean there's no penalty.

We'll use every 90 days. That's our recommended schedule, not a legal requirement. Many programs also require pumping before grease and solids reach 25% of the trap's depth.
