  • I don't have much space for a big container, so what should I do?

    If your restaurant is small and doesn't have a dumpster pad and much space in your parking lot, you aren't going to want to sacrifice a parking spot for a container. We have small 55-gallon barrels we can place in an inconspicuous place or even inside the restaurant. If you're high volume, we can increase our servicing for cooking oil disposal in Houston, TX at no extra cost to you!

  • Why should I switch from my company to yours when my company pays me for my oil?

    While we don't pay for oil, our perks have a higher value to your establishment than the average payments we see other collection services offer. Our hydro jetting, which is normally $450 per hour with a two-hour minimum, is preventative maintenance; it also prevents the need for an expensive plumber to come, who will likely say you need a trap cleaning, which is yet another expense.


    Keeping your establishment open through cooking oil disposal in Houston, TX as well as our other services is a top priority for us. If you have a smelly dumpster, you don't want that to turn off potential or current repeat customers. We help mitigate that issue with the free pressure washing of your dumpster pad!

  • My grease trap is in a lower-level parking garage. How can this be cleaned?

    No problem! Here at First Texas Grease, we custom-built a trailed vacuum tank unit that can meet the clearances of any parking garage. Some grease traps are very large but inaccessible to our big tanker trucks. We use the trailer to make trips from the trap to the truck for proper grease trap pumping and cooking oil disposal in Houston, TX.

  • What is a hydro jet?

    A hydro jet is a piece of equipment we carry on all of our trucks that is connected to our pressure washers. It is a thin pressure washer hose with a tip that shoots a high-pressure stream of water with one nozzle pointing to the front and four nozzles pointing toward the back. We snake it in; when we run it, it breaks up all of the built-up greases on the surfaces of your lines. Pulling the line out pulls all the grease out with it. Our hydro jet is ideal for grease removal and cooking oil disposal Houston, TX businesses can rely on.

  • Does First Texas Grease only pump grease traps?

    No, we don't! Alongside grease trap pumping and cooking oil disposal in Houston, TX, we also pump out lint traps, grit traps, oil/water separators, lift stations, septic tanks, and wastewater. Anything nonhazardous is something we can pump out and clean for you!

  • The city is harassing me and I don't have my manifest. What do I do?

    According to IBISWorld, the market size of the cooking oil recycling industry was $1.7 billion in 2022, so we understand that the city can get on you about receiving this service promptly. That's why we scan and upload all of your manifests onto our customer portal for you to have access to after your service. We set this up the day you become a customer with us! This way, the city can see when you receive services for grease trap pumping or cooking oil disposal Houston, TX businesses prefer from our team.
