Grease traps and Grove City’s food service businesses
Grove City's restaurants split between the historic Town Center along Broadway and the commercial corridor on Stringtown Road near I-71. The Town Center runs a food truck festival every other Friday through the summer, and Arts in the Alley fills Broadway each September.
Broadway's older storefronts and the newer pad sites on Stringtown Road need different service. Small kitchens in older Town Center buildings tend to have indoor traps that need grease trap cleaning when buildup returns, while chain restaurants along Stringtown Road more often have outdoor interceptors serviced by vacuum truck.
Grove City contracts with Columbus for sewer service, which puts local food service operations under the Columbus FOG Reduction Program. Arts in the Alley and other Town Center events bring heavy weekend volume, so restaurants on Broadway may want a pump-out on the calendar ahead of festival weekends. In winter, keep outdoor lids clear of snow and plowed piles so the truck can reach them.

Grove City grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Grove City 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.
