For a Hilliard commercial kitchen, the best grease trap cleaning schedule is one that still fits the way the kitchen operates today. Menu changes, meal volume, new equipment and a different service history can all make an old interval less useful.

Review the service interval before the next Hilliard visit
Last cleaning
Start with the last confirmed service date and whether the work was completed as planned.
Grease and solids
Use removal information when available. It tells you more about accumulation than the invoice total or gallons of water pumped.
Menu changes
New fried items, higher grease production or a changed preparation process can alter how quickly the interceptor loads.
Meal volume
Longer hours, catering, added shifts or seasonal changes can make an old frequency a poor fit.
Equipment changes
New sinks, cooking equipment or capacity changes can affect both grease production and, in some cases, design-review questions.
Condition notes
Keep any unsatisfactory equipment condition or corrective action visible until it is resolved.
Use actual accumulation instead of a generic interval
Online advice often reduces grease trap maintenance to one number of days. A better review uses the facility plan, equipment instructions and the service record. If previous cleanings consistently remove heavy grease and solids before the scheduled date, the interval deserves review. If repeated services find low accumulation, ask whether the current plan and approved design support a different interval rather than changing it casually.
The Columbus 25% guideline page explains why percentage-based accumulation guidance is not the same as a universal calendar rule.
Hilliard and the Columbus wastewater service area
FOG program context
Columbus lists Hilliard among the contract wastewater communities covered by its FOG Reduction Program. The City’s official overview links the program to food-service BMPs and grease-interceptor cleaning records.
Facility-specific confirmation
Use the official program as the starting point, then confirm any property-specific direction, approved service interval or health/plumbing requirement with the authority responsible for the premises.
Kitchen changes can also raise design questions
If the facility is doing more than routine maintenance—adding equipment, increasing capacity or changing the menu—the City code and Building & Zoning guidance may require design verification or grease determination. The requirements guide and sizing guide explain the distinction.
For ordinary cleaning, keep the request focused on the existing equipment, access, service history and current condition.
