Program Description

SSMP was adopted by Ordinance No. 1966, effective on July 1, 2007. The ordinance, in concert with other related ordinances, established funding sources, including a street maintenance fee, an electric utility privilege tax, and a local gas tax. All funds were dedicated to street maintenance and rehabilitation, with the goal of bringing all arterials and collectors in the city to a “good” or better condition within ten years.

The City of Milwaukie utilizes its programs to increase the comfort, safety, and livability for its citizens.

Q. Does my facility need a grease trap?
A. Milwaukie Municipal Code requires that Food Service Facilities (FSF) that prepare and/or package food or beverages for sale or consumption are required to install a Grease Removal Device (GRD).

Storytime is on a break during May. Join us again in June!

• Store used fryer oil in covered containers for recycling.
• Use strainers in sink drains to prevent food solids from filling up Grease Removal Devices (GRDs) prematurely.
• Post educational signs near sinks or drains for employees to follow BMPs. The city may be able to provide materials.
• Employees have the biggest impact on the condition of your GRD, train all kitchen staff on reducing the amount of FOG to kitchen drains.
• Practice dry cleanup- scrape cookware, plates into trash rather than rinsing prior to washing.
