FOG ONLINE RECORD KEEPING PROGRAM

On March 5, 2013, the West Melbourne City Council approved Ordinance No. 2013-02, a Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) ordinance, to create awareness regarding the proper disposal of grease, increase compliance, and reduce ratepayer dollars spent on cleaning the accumulation of fats, oil and grease in the City's public sewer system and lift stations.

All Food Service Establishments (FSE) and Grease Waste Haulers/Maintainers doing business in the City of West Melbourne are required to use the City's FOG Online Record Keeping Program in order to meet the reporting requirements. The online reporting is fast, free, and saves taxpayer dollars. Register and access the FOG Online Record Keeping Program.

The FOG Online Record Keeping Program is provided to the City's Food Service Establishments and Grease Waste Haulers/Maintainers to make it quick and easy to comply with the City’s FOG regulations. The FOG Online Record Keeping Program instantly notifies the City of all grease collection, removal, inspections, disposal, and maintenance performed on the grease removal systems of registered FSEs. These include, but are not limited to, kitchen grease traps, grease interceptors and oil recycling containers. There is no charge to the FSE or Grease Waste Hauler/Maintainer to register and use the City's FOG Online Record Keeping Program.

• All Food Service Establishments located in the City of West Melbourne must register with the City's FOG Online Record Keeping Program. Upon registration approval, the FSE will be issued password access and instructions on how to use the FOG Online Record Keeping Program.

• An inventory of all grease removal systems operating within the West Melbourne sewer service area was developed as of July 1, 2013. Keeping the inventory up to date requires a site visit to all food service establishments to verify the number and size of the grease removal systems operating in the City of West Melbourne. The site visit is not an inspection, and there is no charge to food service establishments for the site visit.
