Free Waste Cooking Oil Collection for Clean Energy
Greener Futures Start with Cleaner Kitchens
We offer a completely free collection service for waste vegetable oil and animal fats across select areas of the UK. As a licensed Environment Agency carrier, we make it easy for businesses to dispose of used cooking oil in a responsible, legal, and sustainable way.
Every drop of used oil we collect is sent to certified biomass depots where it is converted into renewable energy including biomass heating, diesel alternatives, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Why Recycle Your Cooking Oil?
Waste oil that is improperly disposed of can cause severe damage to drainage systems, pollute waterways, attract pests, and even result in legal penalties. Proper disposal not only keeps your premises compliant, but also contributes to low-carbon fuel production.
- Reduces carbon emissions
- Supports sustainable energy industries
- Prevents sewer blockages and vermin
- Helps your business meet environmental standards
What We Collect
We accept a wide range of cooking oils and fats from commercial premises:
- Used vegetable oil
- Sunflower oil, rapeseed oil
- Waste animal fats
- Oils from fryers, grills, and food prep
Whether you operate a takeaway, café, pub, restaurant, mobile van, or catering business - our free service covers you. Minimum collection volumes vary by area (typically 20L-60L), and we provide suitable containers on request.
What Happens to the Oil?
Once collected, your oil is transported to our processing partners. Here's how it's reused:
1. Biofuels & Transport
- Converted into biodiesel for trucks and buses
- Refined into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for aircraft
2. Biomass Heating & Power
- Burned in bio-heating plants to warm homes and businesses
- Used in backup generators and industrial burners
3. Environmental & Commercial Use
