(A) Segregation and collection of waste cooking oil.
(1) No person shall dispose of any grease, or cause any grease to be disposed, by discharge into any drainage piping, by discharge into any public or private sanitary sewer, by discharge into any storm drain system, or by discharge to any land, street, public way, river, stream or other waterway. All waste cooking oils shall be collected and stored properly in tallow receptacles such as barrels, drums, or bins for recycling or other acceptable method of disposal.
(2) Segregated waste grease and oil bins (tallow bins) shall be in a place at the location of any FSE that creates grease or oil from the use of fryers, automatically or mechanically cleaning GRDS which need FSE staff maintenance, rotisserie drip lines not connected to a GRD or any other type of grease and oil waste created by cooking or cleaning of equipment. FSE staff, not limited to kitchen staff, shall properly dispose of grease or oils from cooking equipment into an oil/grease receptacle such as a tallow bin, barrel, or drum. Appropriate measures shall be taken to eliminate spills. Absorbent material shall be immediately available each time the waste oil/grease is emptied into the tallow bin or segregated receptacle. The transporting of waste oil/grease shall be conducted with a covered and sealed container.
(3) Tallow bins or used waste oil and grease container areas shall be kept clean. Containers shall be covered with lids and free from excessive fats, oil, and grease and debris. Housekeeping procedures shall be put in place and signs posted.
(4) FSEs with improperly maintained tallow bins shall relocate the bins to a covered location to reduce the risk of spills and discharges to the storm drain collection system. The tallow bin shall be repositioned in a covered trash enclosure or inside the facility in compliance with all local and state regulations.
(B) Tallow hauler.
(1) Tallow haulers servicing FSEs shall replace tallow containers with clean ones to reduce the risk of spills and discharges to the storm drain system.
(2) Tallow haulers servicing FSEs shall clean up all spills created during the collection and transporting, whether it is on the containers, bins, barrels, or on the ground.
