Grease traps and Groveport’s food service businesses
Groveport formed in 1846 when two rival canal towns, Wert's Grove and Rarey's Port, merged along the Ohio and Erie Canal. The historic center still hosts Apple Butter Day on the second Saturday of October, a tradition that dates to the 1970s, and the Groveport Log House from 1815 stands nearby.
South and east of the old town, the economy is built around Rickenbacker International Airport, with large distribution and warehouse sites. Those buildings and the restaurants that serve their workers often have outdoor interceptors that need grease interceptor pumping by vacuum truck, while kitchens in the older center usually rely on smaller indoor traps.
Groveport contracts with Columbus for sewer service, so Groveport food service operations follow the Columbus FOG Reduction Program. Truck traffic around the warehouse district is heavy, so tell the provider about gates, loading docks or lot restrictions when you call.
Grease trap services in Groveport

Groveport grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Groveport contracts with Columbus for sewer service, so the Columbus FOG Reduction Program, run by Columbus Water & Power, applies.
- Pumping interval
- Columbus does not set one interval for every kitchen. Cleaning should follow the manufacturer's instructions and how fast grease builds up, and new or remodeled kitchens need interceptors designed to go no more than 30 days between services for concrete units, or 90 days for units made of materials that resist degradation.
- Fullness limit
- The city recommends cleaning when an interceptor nears 25 percent of its capacity, before it goes past that point. Every cleaning must remove the entire contents.
- Records
- Keep a written FOG Best Management Plan and a cleaning log for each interceptor on site, for at least three years. The hauler must record the date, the grease and solids removed and the condition after every cleaning.
