EPA Compliance and Grease Disposal — Protecting Florida’s Environment, One Kitchen at a Time
At Southwest Cleaning and Virus Disinfection LLC, we take pride in keeping your kitchen safe and our environment clean.
Our work doesn’t stop at the exhaust hood — it extends to how grease waste and wash water are managed after every cleaning.
That’s where EPA compliance comes in.
Why EPA Regulations Matter in Hood Cleaning
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets national standards for water discharge, chemical handling, and waste management.
These rules protect local waterways, storm drains, and the Gulf Coast ecosystem from harmful grease runoff and detergents.
When a hood cleaning company doesn’t properly collect and dispose of grease, it can lead to:
Clogged municipal storm drains and sewers
Contaminated groundwater and waterways
Environmental fines or penalties for the property owner
That’s why we make sure every drop of wastewater and grease residue is captured, contained, and disposed of safely.
Our Eco-Responsible Cleaning Process
We follow EPA-recommended best practices for every cleaning:
✅ Grease Containment Systems: Rooftop fans are equipped with proper containment to prevent grease from running onto your roof.
Containment Barriers & Drain Capture: During hood and duct cleaning, all wastewater is collected using professional plastic containment and vacuum systems — never released into drains or ground areas.
EPA-Approved Degreasers: We use environmentally safe cleaning solutions that break down grease without harmful runoff.
Proper Disposal: All grease and sludge are collected and disposed of in accordance with local and state environmental regulations.
Every job site is left clean, safe, and fully compliant — with zero impact on your property or the environment.
Why EPA Compliance Protects Your Business
When you choose a company that follows EPA standards, you’re not just protecting the planet — you’re protecting your business from costly mistakes.
Non-compliant disposal or illegal dumping can lead to hefty fines and environmental citations for both the cleaning company and the restaurant owner.
By hiring Southwest Cleaning, you can confidently show inspectors that your maintenance provider follows EPA, NFPA 96, IKECA, and OSHA best practices — ensuring total compliance from top to bottom.
