Frequently Asked Questions

My used cooking oil container is full, What should I do?

Do not add any more cooking oil to the container. As a short-term solution, you can use any plastic or metal container to collect additional cooking oil until we arrive for a pickup. Never refrigerate used cooking oil.  Please contact us at 833-377-3838 to schedule service.

It is important to ensure that your container grate is free from debris. A clogged grate will not allow the oil to pass into the container.  Please do not force debris down through the grate and into the container.  Carefully remove the debris and dispose of it properly.

Why can’t I pour my used cooking oil down the drain?

Used cooking oil cannot be poured down the drain because over time it will build up and clog your pipes leading to costly and unpleasant sewage backups in your restaurant.

I have an oil spill around my container, what should I do?

First block off the area so no one walks or drives through the spill. The best way to clean up a spill is to put down an absorbing agent like kitty litter to soak up the oil. Allow the oil to be fully absorbed before sweeping it up and disposing of it in the trash.

Do I need to sign a contract?

We do not require a contract for used cooking oil recycling services.  

Do you provide used cooking oil storage containers and what is the cost?
