Grease collection system

A grease collection system for collecting and storing cooking grease disposed in said system by a user, the grease collection system comprising:

• an inlet assembly designed for coupling to a cabinet such that said inlet assembly is positioned proximate a sink to receive cooking grease for disposal;
• a collection assembly in fluid communication with said inlet assembly such that said collection assembly receives and stores the cooking grease passing through said inlet assembly;
• a hose member being fluidly coupled between said inlet assembly and said collection assembly to provide fluid communication between said inlet assembly and said collection assembly for permitting the cooking grease to flow from said inlet assembly to said collection assembly when said inlet assembly receives the cooking grease from the user;
• said inlet assembly comprising a port member including a bore extending through said port member with said bore being in fluid communication with said hose member to allow the cooking grease passing through said bore to flow to said collection assembly;
• and
• a funnel member removably mounted on said port member such that said funnel member is in fluid communication with said port member when said funnel member is mounted on the port member to funnel the cooking grease into said bore of said port member to facilitate disposing of the cooking grease.

A grease collection system for collecting and storing cooking grease disposed in said system by a user, the grease collection system comprising:

• an inlet assembly designed for being positioned proximate to a sink having a drain system connected to a sanitary sewer system, the inlet assembly having a port member with a bore configured to receive cooking grease disposed by the user and comprising a removable funnel member mounted on the port member, the bore of the inlet assembly being positioned such that fluids in said sink do not drain into the bore of the port member of said inlet assembly;
• a collection assembly configured to receive and store cooking grease;
• and
• a hose member being fluidly coupled to said inlet assembly and said collection assembly to provide fluid communication between said inlet assembly and said collection assembly for permitting the cooking grease to flow from said inlet assembly to said collection assembly when said inlet assembly receives cooking grease from the user;
• wherein said inlet assembly, said collection assembly, and said hose member are configured so as to be free of any liquid communication with the drain system connected to a sanitary sewer system.
