A Day on Our San Francisco Grease Trap Route
When people ask who provides the best grease trap pumping in San Francisco, we like to let our work speak for itself. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at one of our recent routes in the city.
Starting Early at SFO
Evan, one of our lead technicians, started his day at 2:00 a.m. and headed straight to San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Our team services all of the grease traps for the airport and its tenants, ensuring compliance and keeping one of the busiest hubs in the world running smoothly.
Last-Minute Calls in San Francisco
From SFO, we rolled into San Francisco proper. Alongside our regular scheduled stops, a few restaurants reached out last minute in need of emergency grease trap service. Because we are in San Francisco multiple times per week, we were able to accommodate them and add them onto our existing route that same morning. This flexibility is one of the reasons restaurants trust us. When they need help, we can get them on quickly.
Midday Break in the City
After a busy morning, we paused for a quick lunch at Yerba Buena Gardens. With an iced coffee in hand, Evan recharged before tackling the second half of the route. Even in the middle of a long shift, we take time to appreciate San Francisco’s energy and landmarks.
Wrapping Up the Route
By late afternoon, it was time to head back to the yard. Evan completed and submitted the day’s manifest paperwork, checked in with our department coordinator Serena, and ran a full post-trip inspection on the truck. After washing and fueling up, he grabbed a snack from the break room before clocking out, finishing the day knowing that the city’s restaurants were ready for another busy night of service.
