Food Trucks and Water Pollution

Best Practices

Here are ways food trucks can prevent stormwater pollution:

• Wash food trucks away from storm drains so soapy water and other cooking debris do not wash into our waterways.
• Never dump grease or other chemicals into the storm drain.
• Never dump fat, oil, or grease in a sink. It will clog the pipes.

How to Throw Away Grease

Never dump fats, oils, and grease from your food truck into a storm drain. It’s harmful to the environment and illegal.

• Use a grease container at your food service facility to dispose of the cooking fats, oils, and grease.
• Regularly service your grease container and have it professionally emptied to prevent overflows and unexpected cleanup costs.
