Waste Cooking Oil and Animal Fat Collection in Buxton

Thank you for visiting our website. We understand the need for proper disposal of waste cooking oil and animal fats in commercial kitchens and food-related businesses. However, we must inform you that Waste Cooking Oil and Animal Fat Collection in Buxton is currently not included in our waste oil and fat collection service area.

Why Buxton Is Not Covered

We operate a professional, Environment Agency-licensed collection service across selected parts of the UK. Due to operational and routing constraints, Buxton and the surrounding SK17 postcode area are not currently on our active collection routes. Our service areas are chosen based on accessibility, regional demand, and our ability to maintain efficient and eco-friendly logistics.

We consistently review interest from locations outside our active zones. While Buxton is not currently eligible, this may change depending on future routing opportunities and business demand.

Areas in and Around Buxton Not Covered

We do not provide waste oil collection in Buxton or the following nearby towns and villages:

• Fairfield
• Burbage
• Sterndale Moor
• Harpur Hill
• Tideswell
• Longnor
• Chapel-en-le-Frith
• Whaley Bridge
• Peak Dale
• King Sterndale

If your business is located in any of these areas, we encourage you to consult a licensed local waste carrier who services the High Peak and Derbyshire Dales regions.

Proper Waste Oil Disposal in Buxton

Whether you run a restaurant, takeaway, pub, food processor, or mobile catering business in Buxton, you are legally required to dispose of used cooking oils and fats responsibly. This includes using a licensed waste carrier, obtaining proper documentation such as a Controlled Waste Transfer Note, and ensuring that waste oil is stored securely to prevent leaks or contamination.

Illegal disposal, including pouring oil down drains or placing it in general waste, can lead to severe environmental damage and legal penalties. Businesses in Buxton should contact the High Peak Borough Council or the Environment Agency register to find approved waste management providers operating in the region.

Where Our Collection Service Is Available

Although we do not serve Buxton, we offer free and fully compliant waste oil and animal fat collection in a growing number of areas across Yorkshire and parts of the North West. Our current collection zones include:

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

Our service includes:

What Happens to the Oil We Collect

Oil collected in our covered service areas is sent to licensed processing plants. There, it is recycled into biodiesel, a renewable fuel alternative that helps reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. This supports the UK's broader sustainability goals and offers businesses a way to participate in the circular economy.

None of the oil we collect ends up in landfill or the water system. Everything is either reused, recycled, or repurposed through certified waste-to-energy processes.

Can Buxton Be Added in the Future?

Yes. Our service area is continuously under review. If you are a business based in Buxton and would like to see us expand into your area, we encourage you to register your interest. We log all incoming service requests and use that data to guide future route expansions based on demand and feasibility.

To register interest, please send us a message with your business name, location, volume of oil produced, and typical collection frequency needed. While we cannot offer an exact timeline, consistent demand from a region helps shape where we go next.

Legal Obligations for Businesses

Businesses in Buxton must adhere to the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and Waste Framework Directive requirements. This includes:

• Proper segregation of oil waste

These regulations are not only mandatory but serve to protect the local environment, reduce pest risks, and contribute to wider climate action efforts.
