An economical fat, oil and grease removal assembly and method includes a container having a bottom, a top, at least one sidewall, an inlet and an outlet. The outlet is spaced above the bottom and below the top to define a static water level for liquid in the container. The container may include at least one divider. The container further includes a valve at an elevation such that F.O.G. floating on water in the container can flow from the container out through the valve when a valve control is engaged and opened. The assembly further includes an inlet baffle, an outlet baffle and a removable storage tank arranged to accept F.O.G. that is flowed out of the container.

1. 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, wh
1. 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. 2. The assembly according to claim 1, further including at least one divider extending across the container at a level below the outlet to allow water to flow below the divider from the inlet to the outlet but retaining F.O.G. floating on the water. 3. The assembly according to claim 1, further including an inlet baffle directing the flow of effluent from the inlet into the container and outlet baffle directing the grey water to the outlet. 4. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the storage tank is made of rotomolded plastic. 5. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the container includes a clean out port. 6. The assembly according to claim 2, wherein the divider elevates toward an opening so that F.O.G. is directed toward the opening as it separates from the water. 7. The assembly according to claim 3, wherein the inlet baffle and the outlet baffle are identical to one another in structure. 8. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the storage tank includes a carry handle. 9. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the storage tank includes a F.O.G. level sight glass. 10. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the container includes a F.O.G. level sight glass. 11. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the storage tank includes at least one wheel so that the storage tank may be rolled when the F.O.G. is to be disposed of from the storage tank. 12. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the storage tank includes a pour spout for removal of F.O.G. 13. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein at least one sidewall of the container includes horizontal strengthening ribs. 14. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the storage tank includes vertical strengthening ribs. 15. The assembly according to claim 8, wherein the storage tank has a front, a top, and a center of gravity, and the portal is located in the top adjacent the front of the storage tank and the carry handle is located on the top of the storage tank, between the center of gravity and the front of the storage tank, whereby picking the storage tank up by the carry handle skews the weight of the F.O.G. stored in the storage tank away from the front of the storage tank, tilting the portal upwardly to avoid spilling the F.O.G. through the portal.
