We Are Buyers for Grease Trap & FOG Service Companies

We Buy Septic Companies has secondary acquisition interest in grease trap pumping, FOG (fats, oils, and grease) compliance service, commercial kitchen hood cleaning, and used cooking oil (UCO) collection businesses.

Our primary acquisition focus is septic and onsite wastewater, but we evaluate grease trap and FOG businesses, particularly those with strong recurring commercial contracts and established compliance-driven revenue.

A direct conversation costs nothing. If your business is a fit, we will tell you quickly. If it is not, we will tell you that too, clearly and without wasting your time.

What We Look for in a FOG Business

  • Recurring commercial contracts

    Monthly or quarterly compliance pumping with established restaurant groups or commercial accounts.

  • Revenue concentration

    We review actual customer-level revenue and contract information rather than applying a universal threshold.

  • Business profile

    We review companies case by case based on operations, records, assets, and transition needs.

  • Fleet condition

    Vacuum service vehicles and any specialized FOG transport equipment.

  • Compliance documentation

    Evidence of regulatory compliance is a positive signal.

  • Add-on services

    Hood cleaning, UCO collection, or pressure washing adds breadth.

Questions About Selling Your FOG Business

Who buys grease trap businesses?
Grease trap and FOG service companies are acquired by environmental services consolidators, septic/wastewater operators expanding their commercial service lines, private equity-backed field service platforms, and direct buyers like We Buy Septic Companies. The market is smaller than septic but active buyers exist.
How is a grease trap business valued?
Value discussions may consider recurring commercial contract revenue, customer retention and concentration, service frequency, fleet condition, and whether the company also handles hood cleaning or UCO (used cooking oil). A buyer must review actual records and transaction terms before discussing non-binding value.
Do I need a broker to sell my grease trap business?
No. You can sell directly to a buyer like We Buy Septic Companies without a broker. We are the buyer, not your agent. You should still retain your own attorney and CPA to review any offer independently.
