Illinois FOG Compliance
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) requires all food service establishments to maintain FOG control devices and submit periodic maintenance records.

Evanston Grease Trap Pumping: North Shore FOG Compliance
Evanston's diverse dining scene—from the restaurants along Central Street and Davis Street near the Northwestern campus to the international eateries on Dempster and Howard Streets—must comply with the City of Evanston's sewer-use ordinance and the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago's (MWRD) FOG pretreatment program. All food service establishments in Cook County are required to maintain grease interceptors with documented pumping records. The Evanston Health Department inspects restaurants and reviews maintenance logs as part of food service licensing. Evanston's cold winters—with lake-effect conditions from Lake Michigan—cause rapid grease solidification in exterior traps, increasing blockage risk between November and March. Summer heat and humidity create the opposite problem: accelerated decomposition and odor. Our team serves Evanston, Wilmette, Skokie, and the northern Cook County restaurant corridor with scheduled and emergency pumping, certified manifests, and automated reminders. We navigate the Sheridan Road and Chicago Avenue corridors daily. Call Mia.
