FAQs

First Texas Grease

  • I don't have much space for a big container, so what should I do?

    For smaller restaurants with limited space, we offer compact 55-gallon barrels that can be placed discreetly, even inside your establishment. If you have high-volume needs, we can increase our service frequency for cooking oil disposal in Houston, TX, and surrounding areas at no additional cost to you.
  • Why should I switch from my company to yours when my company pays me for my oil?

    While we don't offer payment for oil, our services provide greater value to your establishment. Our hydro jetting service, typically priced at $450 per hour with a two-hour minimum, serves as preventative maintenance. This can help you avoid costly plumber visits and additional trap cleaning expenses. We prioritize keeping your business operational through our cooking oil disposal and other services in Houston, TX, and surrounding areas. We also offer complimentary pressure washing of your dumpster pad, which can help maintain a pleasant environment for your customers.
  • My grease trap is in a lower-level parking garage. How can this be cleaned?

    At First Texas Grease, we've developed a custom-built trailed vacuum tank unit specifically designed to navigate the clearances of any parking garage. For large but inaccessible grease traps, we utilize this trailer to transport waste from the trap to our truck, ensuring efficient grease trap pumping and cooking oil disposal in Houston, TX, and surrounding areas.
  • What is a hydro jet?

    A hydro jet is a specialized equipment we carry on all our trucks, connected to our pressure washers. It features a thin hose with a unique nozzle configuration: one nozzle pointing forward and four pointing backward. As we insert and operate the jet, it effectively breaks down accumulated grease on your pipe surfaces. When we retract the line, it removes all the loosened grease. Our hydro jet is an essential tool for thorough grease removal and cooking oil disposal for Houston, TX, and surrounding area businesses.
  • Does First Texas Grease only pump grease traps?

    Our services extend beyond grease trap pumping and cooking oil disposal in Houston, TX, and surrounding areas. We also handle lint traps, grit traps, oil/water separators, lift stations, septic tanks, and wastewater. Essentially, we can pump out and clean any non-hazardous waste for your business.
  • The city is harassing me and I don't have my manifest. What do I do?

    We understand the importance of proper documentation, especially given the $1.7 billion market size of the cooking oil recycling industry in 2022. To assist you, we scan and upload all your service manifests to our customer portal, which you can access immediately upon becoming our client. This allows you to easily provide the city with records of your grease trap pumping or cooking oil disposal services in Houston, TX, and surrounding areas, demonstrating your compliance with regulations.
