Trade Waste
Trade waste refers to all liquid waste, excluding domestic sewage, that is discharged into the sewer system from commercial, industrial, laboratory or trade activities. Effective trade waste management plays a crucial part in sustainable infrastructure, helping to protect the environment while ensuring compliance with water authorities’ regulatory requirements.
Trade waste systems such as interceptor traps and pits are designed to capture and separate contaminants such as grease, oil, lint and sediment from wastewater. By preventing these pollutants from entering the sewerage network, the risk of harming aquatic ecosystems or compromising wastewater treatment facilities is greatly reduced.
SVC Products is a trusted supplier of high-quality trade waste solutions, offering a range of products designed to accommodate the specific needs of industrial and commercial applications. Available options include grease traps, cooling and straining pits, baffle pits, silt traps and petrol and oil interceptor pits. Complementary trade waste covers are also available.

Trade Waste: Grease, Oil & Petrol Interceptor Traps, Cooling & Straining Pits and More
Trade waste systems are required across diverse commercial and industrial applications, ranging from food service establishments to petrol stations, automotive workshops and manufacturing businesses.
Grease interceptor pits are commonly used in food processing facilities to prevent fats, oils and grease from clogging sewer systems. Petrol and oil interceptor pits work similarly in automotive and industrial settings, capturing liquid and solid pollutants and preventing environmental contamination.
Cooling and straining pits provide dual functions – firstly, they reduce the temperature of trade waste before it enters the sewer, protecting infrastructure from thermal damage. Secondly, they filter out solid debris, preventing blockages and ensuring a smooth flow of wastewater.
SVC’s trade waste covers are made from robust ductile iron and high-strength precast concrete. Load-rated to Classes B and D in accordance with AS 3996:2019, these covers are water-tight and airtight when sealed, providing excellent protection.
