Grease traps and Pickerington’s food service businesses
Pickerington straddles the Fairfield and Franklin county line on the southeast side of the metro. Olde Pickerington Village holds the original downtown, and State Route 256 carries most of the chain dining.
Pickerington built its first village wastewater plant on Hill Road South in 1974, when it served about 3,900 people, and started construction on today's Water Reclamation Plant at the same site in 1997. The city holds its own discharge permit, so grease rules here come from Pickerington rather than from Columbus.
Restaurants in the older village center usually have indoor traps, while newer pad sites along State Route 256 more often have outdoor interceptors. Either way, keep the hauler's service record from every grease trap pumping visit so you can show maintenance if the city asks.

Pickerington grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Pickerington is outside the Columbus sewer contract area. Sewer service comes from the City of Pickerington's Water Reclamation Department, which sets the local requirements for grease interceptors.
- Pumping interval
- Confirm the required pumping interval with the city before setting a schedule. Interceptor sizing here follows the Ohio Plumbing Code, and the provider can measure the tank to suggest a starting point.
- Fullness limit
- Many central Ohio sewer authorities, including Columbus and the Delaware County district, use 25 percent of the tank's depth as the point to clean. Ask the provider to measure grease and solids at every visit.
- Records
- Keep the service record and disposal manifest from every pumping for at least three years, so you can show a maintenance history if the city or a health inspector asks.
