Wastesafe and your grease trap waste
Wastesafe is the electronic tracking system we use to monitor the generation, collection, transport and disposal of grease trap waste. If you have a grease trap, you must select and engage a Wastesafe transporter to clean it (pump it out) at the frequency we set. While the transporter you use is entirely your choice, and we don't endorse any transporter or prefer any particular organisation, you can only choose an authorised Wastesafe transporter from the directory below.
Tell us who you've selected
We need to know who your authorised Wastesafe transporter is. This ensures that you're meeting our requirements to empty and maintain grease traps.
- Ask your Wastesafe transporter to enter the information online for you when you engage or change your transporter.
- Alternatively, complete the Wastesafe transporter nomination form. Please email it to us at wastesafe@sydneywater.com.au.
Wastesafe fees and charges
You'll need to pay both our charges and the waste contractor's charges.
Waste contractor charges
Your waste contractor will charge you directly to:
- clean your grease trap
- transport your grease trap waste to a treatment facility
- treat your grease trap waste at the treatment facility.
Sydney Water charges
We'll charge you a fixed liquid waste trap (grease trap) charge of $12.13 a quarter for each of your grease traps. The quarterly charge is based on the maximum of 92 days. Quarters with fewer days will cost less.
If you don't maintain your pre-treatment equipment, a higher charge of $15.618 per kilolitre (kL) will apply to 'low strength Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) food' and 'high strength BOD food' commercial processes.
