Economical waste removal system for fat, oil, and grease

An economical fat, oil, and grease (F.O.G.) removal assembly for use in kitchens, comprising:

• a container having a bottom, a top, at least one sidewall, an inlet to receive a flow of effluent made up of F.O.G. and water from a drain, and an outlet for discharging grey water from the container, wherein the inlet and outlet are spaced above the bottom and below the top, at least one sidewall of the container comprising a recess, said recess further comprising an overhang that is above the bottom and that has a bottom face,
• a linearly opening valve mounted horizontally in the bottom face of the overhang of the container at a valve level, the linearly opening valve having a valve pull so the valve can be alternated between open and closed positions and an opening to make a vertical passageway so that F.O.G. floating on water in the container can flow downwardly through the overhang and the valve and out the container when an effluent level in the container is raised above the valve level and the valve is opened by pulling the valve pull,
• a removable storage tank configured to be located under the overhang of the container, the storage tank having a portal to align with the valve opening when the storage tank is located under the overhang to accept F.O.G. that flows downwardly out of the container through the valve opening when the effluent level in the container is raised above the valve level and the valve is opened.
