QC councilor urges strict enforcement of ordinance vs. dumping of cooking oil, grease trap waste into sewage 0 SHARES Share it! 2691 or The Used/Waste Cooking Oil and Grease Trap Waste Regulation Ordinance provides new policies for the transport, storage, reuse, recycling, and reprocessing or disposal of used cooking oil and grease by local restaurants and similar food establishments. The ordinance strictly prohibits and penalizes non-segregation, illegal disposal and selling, and collection and transport by unauthorized entities of used cooking oil and grease trap waste. Vehicles, tools, and other equipment used in the illegal disposal and transport of waste cooking oil and grease trap waste will be impounded, the ordinance also states. Instead, food waste and grease were being disposed directly into the sewage, causing flash floods.
