Grease traps and Circleville’s food service businesses
Circleville is the Pickaway County seat, and every October it hosts the Circleville Pumpkin Show, which began in October 1903 under Mayor George R. Haswell and has grown into one of Ohio's best-known street fairs, with food vendors lining downtown.
For four days the downtown streets become one long food court, and restaurants nearby stay busy from morning to night. Kitchens that cook through the show should book a pump-out right before it starts and another right after it ends.
Circleville runs its own Utilities Department and wastewater treatment plant, so grease rules here come from the city. Older downtown buildings mostly have indoor traps that need grease trap cleaning, while restaurants along US 23 more often have outdoor interceptors.
Grease trap services in Circleville

Circleville grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Circleville is outside the Columbus sewer contract area. Sewer service comes from the City of Circleville's Utilities Department and wastewater treatment plant, 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.
