## Products

- [Grease Caddy](https://alcesspool.com/products/#grease-caddy): A mobile used-oil container for getting fryer oil out of the kitchen and into the collection workflow. Best where the route from fryer to storage needs wheels.

- [55-Gallon Drum](https://alcesspool.com/products/#55-gallon-drum): A compact storage option for lower-volume kitchens and tighter service areas. Pair it with a dolly when the drum has to move for filling or pickup.

- [55-Gallon Drum Dolly](https://alcesspool.com/products/#55-gallon-drum-dolly): A wheeled base for positioning a full 55-gallon drum without dragging it across the service area. The drum stays movable when access changes.

- [4-Drum Spill Containment Pallet](https://alcesspool.com/products/#4-drum-spill-containment-pallet): A polyethylene pallet that holds four 55-gallon drums over a 73-gallon sump, so a leak or spill stays on the pallet instead of the floor. The grate lifts out for cleaning, and fork pockets let a forklift move it.

- [Grease Dumpster](https://alcesspool.com/products/#grease-dumpster): The larger container for kitchens and facilities that outgrow a drum. Choose 50, 125, or 250 gallons based on output, footprint, and pickup schedule.

- [Large Funnel](https://alcesspool.com/products/#large-funnel): A wide funnel for pouring fryer oil into the drum or dumpster without running it down the side. Sized for the containers we supply.

- [Lemon Burst Deodorizer](https://alcesspool.com/products/#lemon-burst-deodorizer): A lemon-scented deodorizer that breaks down sewage so the line keeps flowing and the odor stops.

- [Drain Bug](https://alcesspool.com/products/#drain-bug): A bacteria treatment for grease traps, sewer ejector tanks, and drains. It destroys fly larvae, so sewer flies stop coming out of the drain.

- [Cherry Deodorizer](https://alcesspool.com/products/#cherry-deodorizer): A liquid perfume that masks the normal smell around sewer ejector tanks and grease traps. It's not a substitute for replacing seals and caulking.

- [Bio-Snake Blocks](https://alcesspool.com/products/#bio-snake-blocks): A biological block for ongoing grease-trap maintenance and odor reduction between pumpouts. Regular pumping still removes the solids already in the trap.
