Approved Hauler Program

• The Approved Hauler Program (AHP) is for grease interceptor/trap pump-out vendors that meet CCUA established criteria. Commercial facilities that generate FOG are encouraged to use vendors in the AHP. When using a vendor in the AHP, the hauler will assume responsibility for submitting all completed pump-out manifests. A current list of approved haulers can be found in the FOG BMP portal.
  Benefits to commercial users using approved haulers

  • Maintenance inspections focus on hauler performance
  • Any frequency or incomplete services will be handled through the approved hauler
  • Approved hauler will submit service tickets into the FOG BMP portal
• Pump-out vendors who wish to become an approved hauler can do so by submitting the appropriate paperwork and meeting all standards of the Approved Hauler Program.

FOG FAQs

• 

  WILL MY ESTABLISHMENT BE INSPECTED?

  Yes. A CCUA inspector will conduct inspections to help you understand the requirements.
• 

  WHERE DOES FOG COME FROM?

  Fats, oils, and grease are derived from plant and animal sources and are a by-product of cooking.
• 

  DOESN’T USING SOAP TAKE CARE OF FOG?

  No. Products such as detergents pass FOG down the pipeline and cause blockages resulting in Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO).
