Real feedback from Melbourne businesses we service.
We've been using Plendrive for our grease trap maintenance for over 5 years. Their team is professional, punctual, and always ensures we stay compliant with South East Water requirements. Highly recommend for any restaurant.
Plendrive saved us during an emergency overflow on a Saturday night. They arrived within 2 hours and had out kitchen back operational before the Sunday lunch service. Exceptional emergency response.
As a food manufacturing facility, we need reliable grease trap servicing. Plendrive handles our large interceptor system efficiently, provides all compliance documentation, and their pricing is transparent. Great service all around.

Yes.

Yes.
Every service includes documentation for City West Water, South East Water, Yarra Valley Water and other local authorities. We also provide trap audits when required.
Signs your trap may be undersized include fast filling, recurring odours, overflow during business hours or frequent blockages.
We can assess the trap condition and recommend the correct capacity based on your kitchen’s output.
FOG (fats, oils and grease) solidifies inside the trap, blocking outlet pipes, damaging sewer pipes and causing wastewater overflows.
This leads to foul odours, equipment issues and potential trade waste fines. Regular maintenance protects your wastewater system and compliance status.
FOG hardens inside sewer pipes and creates blockages that can force wastewater back into your kitchen. It also triggers trade waste breaches with your water authority.
Proper grease trap servicing stops FOG from escaping into the drainage system.
Our technicians are EPA-licensed and trained in liquid waste management, trade waste regulations, confined-space safety, grease arrestor servicing and wastewater system operation.
They’re qualified to work with all major commercial grease trap systems.
Safe: FOG waste, food particles and wash water.
Not allowed: Chemicals, solvents, bleach, paint, plastics, sanitary waste or anything that harms the trap or breaches trade waste rules.
If your business produces non-food liquid waste, we can advise on the correct disposal method.
