Waste Cooking Oil and Animal Fat Collection in Heanor

Thank you for visiting our website. While we specialise in the free and licensed collection of waste cooking oil and animal fats for commercial businesses, we regret to confirm that Waste Cooking Oil and Animal Fat Collection in Burton-upon-Trent is not currently part of our active collection area. Businesses in the DE13, DE14, and DE15 postcode regions will need to work with locally registered providers to ensure compliant disposal of waste oil and fats.

Why Burton-upon-Trent Is Not Included

Our operations are built around highly efficient and environmentally sustainable collection routes. Unfortunately, Burton-upon-Trent lies outside our current routing due to logistical distance from our operating base. To reduce emissions and maintain route reliability, we must prioritise areas where we can serve multiple customers along established paths. At this time, Burton-upon-Trent falls beyond that scope.

That said, we continuously assess demand in regions like Burton-upon-Trent and review the potential for future expansion based on business interest and collection volume.

Postcode Areas Not Covered

We do not currently collect waste cooking oil or animal fats from the following areas and postcodes in and around Burton-upon-Trent:

• DE13 - Outwoods, Branston, Rolleston on Dove, Tatenhill, Barton-under-Needwood
• DE14 - Burton town centre, Horninglow, Shobnall
• DE15 - Stapenhill, Winshill, Bretby, Newton Solney

If your business is located in any of these areas, you will need to use an Environment Agency-approved local waste carrier for legal disposal.

Legal Requirements for Waste Oil Disposal in Burton

All UK businesses that produce used cooking oil or fats are legally required to dispose of that waste using registered waste carriers. This includes:

• Storing oil in secure, sealed containers to avoid spills or pest attraction
• Ensuring that collections are carried out by a licensed waste handler
• Receiving a Controlled Waste Transfer Note for every collection
• Never disposing of oil via drains, water systems, or general waste

Improper disposal not only damages the environment and infrastructure but can result in prosecution and heavy fines. Local councils, such as East Staffordshire Borough Council, may assist with identifying nearby compliant providers.

Where Our Waste Oil Collection Services Are Active

We currently provide free and fully compliant waste cooking oil collection in selected regions of Yorkshire and the North West, including:

• Leeds
• Wakefield
• Bradford
• Huddersfield
• Halifax
• Barnsley (South Yorkshire)
• Greater Manchester (select postcodes)

Our services in these areas include:

What Happens to the Oil We Collect?

The used oil we collect is sent to licensed facilities where it is recycled into sustainable products like biodiesel or used in the manufacture of bio-lubricants and renewable heating oil. This helps reduce fossil fuel use and carbon emissions, supporting a circular economy and the UK’s carbon reduction strategy.

We only work with regulated processors, ensuring every litre of oil is tracked and reused, never wasted.

Can We Add Burton-upon-Trent in the Future?

We regularly consider new areas based on demand and logistics. If multiple businesses in Burton-upon-Trent express interest, we may consider launching a pilot route in the area or include it in a future expansion phase.

If you are a business in DE13, DE14, or DE15 and would like us to collect from your location, please contact us with the following:

• Your business name and full address
• Estimated volume of waste oil produced weekly or monthly

Environmental Impact of Waste Oil in Burton

Burton-upon-Trent’s reputation as a hub for breweries, food producers, and restaurants makes sustainable waste management especially important. When oil is disposed of improperly, it can clog drains, contaminate waterways, attract rodents, and pollute local green spaces.

Using a registered waste collector helps keep the environment clean and contributes to a greener energy future. It also protects your business from liability and demonstrates corporate responsibility.
