Grease traps and Obetz’s food service businesses
Obetz sits just south of Columbus, and its biggest crowds gather at Fortress Obetz, a 6,500-seat stadium built on the old Columbus Motor Speedway site and finished in 2017, and at the Zucchinifest in Memorial Park, a four-day festival held every Labor Day weekend.
Warehouses and distribution centers are a big part of the local economy, and the mix of industrial sites, fast-food restaurants and event venues means interceptor sizes here vary widely. Stadium and festival food service brings sudden spikes, so the trap or interceptor serving those kitchens can fill much faster than its usual interval suggests.
Obetz contracts with Columbus for sewer service, so local food service operations follow the Columbus FOG Reduction Program. Book grease interceptor pumping before Zucchinifest weekend or a big stadium event, and keep the hauler's report with your cleaning log.
Grease trap services in Obetz
Providers serving Obetz handle grease trap pumping for indoor traps, deeper grease trap cleaning when buildup returns, and grease interceptor pumping and grease interceptor cleaning for in-ground tanks. Describe your setup when you call and the provider can recommend the right service.
Obetz grease trap requirements
- Local authority
- Obetz 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.
