Pumpers in Ohio are licensed or registered by county and city health districts, which register septage haulers under Ohio's sewage rules. 0 of the companies we list show a license or registration number, which we take from those public lists. Always ask a company whether they are currently licensed and where they dispose of the septage.
The counties with the most companies are Portage County (40), Licking County (33), Ashland County (25), Delaware County (25), Mahoning County (25). See every Ohio county, or read how septic pricing works anywhere in the country.
