Why Inglewood kitchens call Boh
Grease trap cleaning in Inglewood, answered
How often does Inglewood require grease trap cleaning
LA County Sanitation Districts require pumping whenever grease and solids reach 25% of the trap's hydraulic depth. For most high-volume kitchens in Inglewood — especially those running event-day service at Hollywood Park — that threshold arrives monthly. Lighter-volume operators on Manchester Avenue or Market Street may stretch to every 10–12 weeks, but monthly is the safe default.
Who enforces the grease trap rules in Inglewood
The LA County Sanitation Districts administer the FOG pretreatment program and conduct compliance audits. Inglewood also has its own Fire Department, which can flag grease hazards during fire inspections. Both agencies can trigger a health department referral if conditions are serious enough.
What happens if my trap fails inspection in Inglewood
LA County Sanitation Districts can issue fines up to $5,000 per violation and, in repeated cases, move to revoke your sewer connection — which forces a service shutdown. Getting a compliant pump-out completed and the manifest filed is the only path to clearing a FOG citation.
Do event-day volume spikes at SoFi Stadium or the Intuit Dome require more frequent service
Yes. Hollywood Park venues operate at near-zero volume on weekdays and then push full capacity for hours during NBA games, NFL games, and concerts. That irregular but extreme load accelerates FOG accumulation — some kitchens there need service every three to four weeks to stay under the 25% threshold. Boh tracks your service history and flags when the interval needs to tighten.
How long do I need to keep pump-out manifests on file
LA County Sanitation Districts require manifests to be retained for three years. Inspectors can request them at any time, so keeping a continuous, dated paper trail — not just the most recent service — is essential. Boh stores digital copies of every manifest for each job we coordinate.
Can I use any licensed hauler, or does it have to be someone specific
The hauler must be licensed under the LA County Sanitation Districts' pretreatment program. Using an unapproved hauler — even one with a state-issued license — means the cleaning does not count as compliant and your manifest is not valid. Boh only dispatches haulers approved under the relevant LA County program.

What other services does Boh coordinate that relate to grease trap maintenance
Kitchen exhaust hood cleaning directly affects how much grease reaches your drains — NFPA 96 requires hood cleaning on a schedule tied to cooking volume, and falling behind on hoods accelerates trap fill rates. Boh also coordinates drain line jetting and kitchen deep cleaning, which reduce the load on your interceptor between pump-outs.
