Traps + interceptors
Grease trap pumping
Traps and interceptors pumped to empty on a 1 to 6 month schedule set to your kitchen, so fats, oils and grease stay out of the sewer.
Grease traps pumped. Lines jetted. Septic hauled. Since 1978.
American Waste Removal keeps commercial kitchens, restaurants and homes running clean across New Mexico, Southern Colorado, Eastern Arizona and West Texas. Day, night, weekends and holidays.
The route sheet
Traps, lines, tanks and the plumbing between them
Six calls the trucks roll out on, from a restaurant interceptor in Albuquerque to a septic tank in the Four Corners. Slide the sheet to see each one.
Lines + laterals
Hydro-jetting and sewer camera
Camera first to find the crack, belly or root, rooter for the hard stuff, then water up to 4,000 PSI to scour the pipe wall clean.
Tanks · Four Corners
Septic tank pumping
Tanks pumped every 2 to 3 years by size and use. The Four Corners crew runs out of Flora Vista for homes, event venues and offices.
Day, night, holidays
24/7 emergency pumping
Trap overflow, backed-up drains or a septic system coming back up: trucks roll day, night, weekends and holidays.
Homes + kitchens
AWR Plumbing
Residential and commercial plumbing: leaks and repipes, water heaters, gas lines with pressure tests, and restaurant kitchen plumbing.
Between pump-outs
Total C drain treatment
A concentrated citrus, enzyme and oil-eating bacteria treatment that keeps drains and traps moving between pump-outs. Safe for septic.
24/7 emergency pumping and line clearing
24/7
Day, night, weekends and holidays. When a kitchen or a facility cannot afford downtime, AWR responds fast to get it back up and running: grease trap pumping, septic tank pumping, hydro-jetting and line clearing, and rooter service. The office on Carmony Ln. NE keeps weekday hours, 8 to 4. The phone does not.
When it backs up
- Grease trap overflow?
- Slow or backed up drains?
- Septic system backing up?
One grease trap, start to finish
One trap, walked down the haul line
How a commercial grease trap service runs with AWR, from the first call to the next date on your calendar. Most of it is routine. That is the point.
Dispatch
Call, and set the interval
Most commercial grease traps need service every 1 to 6 months. Where yours lands depends on the size of the kitchen, how much you cook, the type of food and what your city requires. Dispatch sets the schedule with you and keeps you on it.
Pump-out
Empty the trap or interceptor
A trap holds fats, oils and grease so they stay out of the sewer line. It does not get rid of them. Pumping pulls the layer out so the trap can catch the next load, and the smell leaves with the truck.
Hot-jet
Scour the line if it runs slow
If a drain downstream is sluggish, the red hot-jet trailer comes off the hitch. Water at up to 4,000 PSI cleans grease, food waste, scale and sludge off the inside of the pipe instead of just punching a hole through it.
Report
Photos of the clean trap, next date booked
Customers mention it by name: the crew explains what was done and sends photos of the trap once it is clean. The next pump-out goes on the calendar before the truck leaves, so an inspection never catches you full.

“Curtis was helpful from the very beginning and communicated clearly throughout the process. He explained the work that was completed and even provided photos of our grease trap once it was cleaned, which we decided to have serviced early.”
“Colton and his team are great to work with! I’ve used them several times over the years to pump my grease trap at our business and the septic at our home. Also snaked the drains when needed. Wouldn’t use anybody else. Very friendly and professional every time.”
