How Does Your Cooking Oil Collection Service Work?

Our cooking oil collection service uses a fully managed process that ensures the safe, compliant, and efficient removal of your used oil.

We assess your oil output and recommend the most suitable container types, such as drums, barrels, or bulk storage tanks, to prevent leaks and contamination.

Once containers are delivered to your site, we arrange regular or one-off collections based on your disposal needs and operational schedule.

On collection day, trained operatives use specialist vacuum systems or manual collection methods to remove the oil safely and cleanly.

All collections are carried out using licensed waste carriers and fully tracked with waste transfer notes that confirm the volume, collection date, and recycling destination.

The collected oil is then transported to approved recycling facilities where it is processed into biodiesel, oleochemicals, or animal feed additives, supporting the circular economy.

What Types of Cooking Oil Do You Collect?

We collect various used cooking oils and fats from commercial food preparation activities.

Accepted oil types include vegetable oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, corn oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, palm oil, olive oil, and fryer oils.

Mixed cooking oils from deep fryers are also collected as long as they remain free from excessive food debris, water, or other contaminants.

Certain animal fats and grease trap contents may be collected depending on their condition and suitability for recycling—contact us to confirm eligibility.

Motor oils, hydraulic fluids, and petroleum-based products are not accepted as these require separate hazardous waste disposal processes.

Proper segregation of your used oil helps ensure the highest possible recycling value and reduces contamination risks.

How Much Does Cooking Oil Collection Cost?

The cost of cooking oil collection is £0 when your business meets the minimum collection volume, typically between 20 and 60 litres per visit.

 A service fee may apply for businesses generating smaller amounts of oil to cover collection and transport costs.

Charges may also be incurred for optional services such as container rental, bulk tank supply, emergency call-outs, or periodic cleaning of oil storage equipment.

Rebate payments may be available depending on the quantity and quality of the used oil, with rates influenced by market demand for waste oil.

The final cost is determined by key factors including your oil output, location, collection frequency, and type of containers required.

Why Is Proper Cooking Oil Disposal Important?

Proper cooking oil disposal is essential to prevent environmental damage, maintain legal compliance, and avoid costly plumbing issues.

Pouring oil down drains leads to fatbergs and sewer blockages, which can cause flooding, property damage, and contamination of local waterways.

Incorrect disposal into general waste bins attracts pests, creates unpleasant odours, and risks prosecution under UK waste disposal laws.

Recycling used oil through licensed collectors ensures that it is repurposed into renewable fuels like biodiesel, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and supporting carbon reduction targets.

Demonstrating responsible oil disposal also enhances your business reputation and helps meet sustainability objectives set by regulators, investors, and customers.

Do You Offer One-Time or Scheduled Oil Collection?

We offer one-time collections and scheduled oil collection services to accommodate business needs.

Scheduled collections are available weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or at custom intervals based on your oil output and operational requirements.

Scheduled pickups help prevent container overflows, maintain hygiene standards, and provide predictable service for businesses with consistent oil production.

One-time collections can be arranged for seasonal events, busy periods, or irregular oil disposal needs, offering flexibility for low-volume producers or exceptional circumstances.

Our team can monitor your oil usage and recommend adjustments to your collection schedule as your needs evolve, ensuring cost-effective and efficient service.

Is There a Minimum or Maximum Amount of Oil You Can Collect?

The minimum amount of oil required for free collection typically ranges from 20 to 60 litres per collection, depending on your location and service plan.

Small-volume producers may still access collection services, but charges may apply to cover the cost of collection and processing.

There is no maximum limit on the amount of oil we can collect—large volumes are handled using bulk container systems and coordinated multi-site pickups where needed.

We offer flexible service arrangements for businesses with fluctuating oil output to match your production levels and ensure smooth operations.

Contact us to confirm minimum volume requirements and discuss solutions for both low and high-volume oil disposal.

How Do You Ensure Environmentally Friendly Cooking Oil Recycling?

We partner with fully licensed processing facilities that comply with UK environmental standards to ensure the environmentally friendly recycling of your used cooking oil.

Depending on the oil quality, collected oil is filtered, dewatered, and processed into biodiesel, renewable fuels, oleochemicals, or animal feed ingredients.

This process reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills and supports the production of low-carbon energy alternatives, contributing to climate change mitigation.

Our recycling partners operate within strict guidelines such as ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems, ensuring responsible and traceable waste handling.

Every collection is documented through waste transfer notes and recycling certificates, providing full traceability and compliance for your environmental reporting.

What Are the Benefits of Partnering with a Professional Oil Collection Service?

Partnering with a professional oil collection service provides your business with legal security, environmental protection, and operational convenience.

You receive secure storage containers, scheduled or flexible pickups, and professional waste handling that meets UK regulations.

Your business is protected from fines and penalties associated with improper waste disposal, supported by complete documentation and audit-ready records.

Recycling reports and waste transfer notes are provided after each collection, supporting your sustainability audits and CSR reporting.

Many providers offer rebates for high-volume oil collections, allowing you to generate additional revenue from your waste management process.

A dedicated account management team ensures responsive service, flexible scheduling, and customised solutions tailored to your business needs.

Partnering with professionals enhances your brand’s reputation for environmental responsibility and reduces your operational risks.
