Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. State of
Georgia government websites and email systems use “georgia.gov” or “ga.gov” at
the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make
sure you’re on an official state website.

FATS, OILS, AND GREASE (FOG)

Fats, Oils, and Greases (FOG) being transported from one place (restaurant
grease traps) to a disposal site, are governed under State Rule 391-3-6-.24
(Rule).

FOG.png

The purpose of this Rule is to provide minimum uniform statewide regulations for
the purpose of regulating transporters that collect and/or dispose of commercial
waste; to prevent the improper disposal of commercial wastes; to provide a
commercial waste transporter permit that is accepted statewide; and to provide
for fees for the cost of permitting and inspecting transporter vehicles. 

An independent group called the Southeastern FOG Alliance was developed to help
educate the companies and facilitate the rule. More information about the
Southeastern FOG Alliance can be found on their website
at www.southeasternfogalliance.org

Any transporter, owning or operating one or more waste tank trucks that receive
or dispose of commercial waste in this state, must submit a registration form to
the Division for the purposes of receiving a registration number from EPD. The
registration form can be found
at https://www.southeasternfogalliance.org/waste-transporter.html. The
transporter is required to take the registration certificate (bearing the
registration number) and the waste truck to a local governing authority for
inspections before they can haul the FOG.  If you have any questions, please
contact Whitney Fenwick (whitney.fenwick@dnr.ga.gov).
