[๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ Grease Traps](https://help.waster.com.au/%EF%B8%8F-recycling-waste-streams?hsLang=en-au#%EF%B8%8F-grease-traps) # Nominated Transporters for Metro Sydney ## In Metro Sydney, grease trap cleaning and trade waste removal must be carried out by โ€œnominated transporters.โ€ These are contractors approved by Sydney Water to collect, transport, and dispose of trade waste. Businesses cannot choose just any provider โ€” services must be arranged through nominated transporters to ensure compliance. Waster works with nominated transporters to manage grease trap services for our customers in Sydney. #### โœ… What Nominated Transporters Do - **Licensed by Sydney Water** โ€“ authorised to service grease traps and collect trade waste. - **Perform scheduled collections** โ€“ aligned with the frequency set out in your Sydney Water trade waste agreement. - **Transport and disposal** โ€“ ensure grease and liquid waste are taken to approved treatment facilities. - **Maintain compliance records** โ€“ provide Sydney Water with proof that your grease trap is serviced on schedule. --- #### โŒ What Nominated Transporters Donโ€™t Cover - **Household services** โ€“ only businesses with trade waste agreements require nominated transporter services. - **General waste and recycling** โ€“ these are handled separately by your waste management provider. - **Irregular one-off cleans** โ€“ servicing must follow the regulated schedule, not ad hoc requests. --- #### Why Businesses Must Use Nominated Transporters - **Compliance** โ€“ itโ€™s a legal requirement under Sydney Water trade waste rules. - **Monitoring** โ€“ Sydney Water receives reports directly from nominated transporters to confirm compliance. - **Fines for non-compliance** โ€“ if a business uses an unapproved provider or misses cleans, penalties can apply. - **Peace of mind** โ€“ ensures your grease trap waste is handled safely and responsibly. --- #### Household Context Nominated transporters only apply to businesses in Sydney that operate under a **Sydney Water trade waste agreement**. Households donโ€™t have grease traps and do not require this service. --- #### Wasterโ€™s Role - Waster works directly with **Sydney Water nominated transporters** to arrange grease trap services for businesses in Metro Sydney. - We take care of the scheduling, compliance requirements, and record-keepingโ€” so you donโ€™t need to worry about missing a clean or dealing directly with multiple authorities. - This means your business gets **one point of contact** for waste management, while staying fully compliant with Sydney Waterโ€™s rules. --- #### Quick Reference | **Nominated Transporters Provide** | **Not Responsible For** | | --- | --- | | Licensed grease trap cleaning | Household waste services | | Transport & disposal of trade waste | General waste & recycling | | Compliance reporting to Sydney Water | Ad hoc, one-off services | | Scheduled collections | Businesses outside Sydney Waterโ€™s area | --- #### Best Practices Summary 1. Always use a Sydney Water nominated transporter for grease trap cleaning in Metro Sydney. 2. Donโ€™t try to book one-off or unapproved services โ€” they wonโ€™t meet compliance. 3. Keep your Sydney Water trade waste agreement handy for reference. 4. Let Waster arrange your grease trap services to ensure you stay compliant. --- #### Conclusion: Compliance Through Approved Providers In Sydney, only nominated transporters licensed by Sydney Water can clean and service grease traps. Businesses must use these providers to meet compliance obligations. Waster makes it simple by partnering with nominated transporters on your behalfโ€”so your business stays on schedule and avoids fines. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Explore **Wasterโ€™s grease trap services** in our [online shop](https://waster.com.au/product-category/grease-trap-liquid-service/). ๐Ÿ“ฅ **Download now:** [Free PDF Business Owners Guide to Grease Trap Services](https://waster.com.au/free-business-owners-guide-to-grease-trap-cleaning/) -
