Carlton’s Unique Grease Trap Demands
Italian cooking produces high volumes of olive oil, butter, cheese-based sauces, and deep-fried dishes like arancini and calamari. Carlton’s Italian restaurants typically generate heavy FOG loads that require monthly professional cleaning. Many Lygon Street restaurants have operated for decades in heritage buildings with older grease trap installations that need careful maintenance and periodic upgrades.
