Commercial Fats, Oils and Grease Clean-Out Management Program

Any food service establishment or commercial/institutional kitchen that is connected to the JEA wastewater system is required to participate in the Commercial Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) program. Our Commercial FOG Program helps you navigate facility requirements, grease trap maintenance requirements, and best management practices.

All New Automated FOG Clean-Out Tracking Platform

JEA’s new Commercial Fats, Oils and Grease platform, FOG BMP, is being provided by JEA to help you ensure that your facility is in compliance with the JEA rules and regulations. This free FOG clean-out tracking solution allows you to see all of the information that JEA has for your facility at any time.  

• If you are a self-cleaner, you will be able to track your clean-outs in the database. Learn more about the reporting process (PDF download).
  
• If you use a Certified Hauler, you will see where your Hauler has tracked all of your cleanings. Learn more about using a FOG Certified Hauler
• Inspection pass/fail information can be found in your profile.

If you have not already received a welcome email from JEA, please contact us at FOG@jea.com or (904) 665-7404. Once you receive your welcome email, please log in and watch the introductory video.
