FOG Compliance Checklist — Adapted to Your State

By the GreaseTrapFinder Editorial Team · Updated June 11, 2026

Most compliance checklists hand every kitchen the same generic list. This one adapts: pick your state and the checklist fills in your cleaning interval, manifest rules, record retention period, and the agency that will be doing the asking. Progress saves in your browser; print the finished list for your records folder.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a generic FOG checklist?

Generic checklists give every restaurant the same 25 boxes. This one pulls your state's actual requirements — cleaning interval, manifest rule, hauler licensing, record retention, maximum fines and the agency that enforces them — into the checklist itself, so the boxes you're ticking are the ones your inspector will check.

Is the state data authoritative?

It reflects state-level rules and the most common municipal standards in that state, compiled in our state compliance guide. Cities can and do set stricter rules than their state — always confirm with your local FOG program, especially for cleaning intervals.

Does my progress save?

Yes — progress saves in your browser (on this device) automatically. Print a completed copy for your records folder; a dated, completed checklist alongside your manifests is exactly what inspectors like to see.
