Grease traps and local food service businesses
Powell kitchens are on the Delaware County Regional Sewer District, which publishes detailed grease rules for food service operations, including a fixed maximum time between pump-outs.
That makes the calendar matter. Book service before the deadline rather than after it, and ask the hauler whether they send the cleaning paperwork to the district or leave that to you, since the district sets a short deadline for it after each visit.

Common grease trap questions
How often do Powell restaurants need grease trap pumping?
It depends on trap size, menu and volume, along with local requirements. District rules require every food service grease interceptor to be fully pumped and cleaned at least every 90 days, unless the District approves a waiver in writing. A provider can measure your trap and suggest a schedule.
Do providers serving Powell 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.
