Grease traps and Bexley’s food service businesses
Bexley is a compact city of about two and a half square miles on Columbus's east side, and almost all of its dining sits on Main Street, the old National Road (US 40). The strip runs past the Drexel Theatre and Capital University, and long-running spots such as Rubino's Pizza, open since 1954, share the blocks with newer cafes and sushi bars.
Most Main Street kitchens work out of older storefronts built close together, so room for an outdoor tank is rare and small indoor traps are the norm. Those traps fill quickly with pizza ovens and fryers running all day, which makes regular grease trap pumping the main job here.
Bexley is on the Columbus list of contract sewer communities, so Bexley food service operations follow the Columbus FOG Reduction Program: a written grease management plan, a cleaning log for every interceptor and records kept for at least three years. Main Street parking is tight, so work out where the truck can stand before the visit and ask about service before the lunch rush.

Bexley grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Bexley 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.

Bexley grease trap questions
How often do Bexley restaurants need grease trap pumping?
It depends on trap size, menu and volume, along with local requirements. 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. A provider can measure your trap and suggest a schedule.
Do providers serving Bexley handle in-ground interceptors?
Many do. Tell the provider whether you have an indoor trap or an outdoor interceptor, and its size if you know it, so they can confirm they have the right equipment. Call to check availability.
