A method of managing organic waste and an organic waste management system. The method includes the steps of receiving organic waste liquids and solids in a collection vessel, such as a grease trap. The dissolved oxygen is monitored, the pH level is monitored, the flow is monitored, and the temperate of the organic waste liquids and solids in the collection vessel are all monitored and data is generated therefrom. Enzymes and bacteria are generated/supplied and delivered along with other reagents to the collection vessel in response to the data. In addition, dissolved oxygen, air, or equivalent is applied to the collection vessel in response to the data so that the organic waste liquids and solids are degraded.

What is claimed is: 1. An organic waste management system which comprises: a collection vessel for receipt of fat, oil or grease; a monitor to monitor dissolved oxygen, monitor the pH level, and monitor the temperature of said fat, oil or grease in the collection vessel and generate data therefrom; a fermentation chamber to generate enzymes separate from said vessel; a regulator receiving said data from said monitor; a delivery system to deliver said enzymes from said fermentation chamber to said vessel in response to said data; and a mechanism to apply oxygen or air to said vessel in response to said data wherein said system operates to degrade said fat, oil or grease. 2. An organic waste management system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said monitor is located outside said liquids and solids in said vessel, and including a pump to pump said liquids through a tube containing said monitor, and including means to flush said tube with water. 3. An organic waste management system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said data is delivered to and sorted in memory in communication with a central processing unit and wherein said regulator and said delivery system are in communication therewith. 4. An organic waste management system as set forth in claim 2 wherein said data is delivered to a remote location. 5. An organic waste management system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said delivery system also delivers buffers in response to data regarding said pH level. 6. An organic waste management system as set forth in claim 1 including a mechanism to decrease the temperature of said waste liquids and solids in said vessel by introduction of cold water. 7. An organic waste management system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said data received by said regulator is delivered to and received by a remote data collector. 8. An organic waste management system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said monitor communicates externally either unidirectionally or bidirectionally. 9. An organic waste management system which comprises: a collection vessel for receipt of fat, oil or grease; a monitor having a sensor to monitor the dissolved oxygen, a sensor to monitor the pH level, and a sensor to monitor the temperature of said fat, oil or grease in the collection vessel and generate data therefrom; means to deliver enzymes in measured doses from a separate fermentation chamber to said collection vessel in response to said data; means to apply oxygen or air to said vessel in response to said data; means to control the amount of said fat, oil or grease in the vessel; and means to control the pH level in the vessel and discharge therefrom. 10. An organic waste management system as set forth in claim 9 further comprising a means for controlling biochemcial oxygen demand by optimizing dissolved oxygen, pH level and temperature in said collection vessel. 11. An organic waste management system as set forth in claim 9 wherein said sensors are located outside said liquids and solids in said vessel, and including a pump to pump said liquid through a tube containing said sensors, and including means to flush said tube with water.
