Why Oil Collection Isn’t Available

As noted by WasteVegetableOils.com, there are no commercial or council-run collection schemes for waste vegetable oils and fats in Derbyshire—including all areas listed above.

Household waste recycling centres may accept very small quantities (e.g. under 5 L cooking oil or fats), and home composting is advised for kitchen oils . However, these options are not suitable for larger volumes from restaurants, takeaways, farms or catering businesses.

Next Steps & Recommendations

If you generate more than small household amounts of used cooking oil, consider one of these:

1. Coordinate with Borough-wide businesses to share a private collection scheme.
2. Arrange pickup via a licensed commercial collector (Enviro‑Tech, Cater Oils, Bio UK Fuels, Kleenwaste, etc.).
3. Store oil properly in UN-approved containers and keep a waste transfer note for compliance.

For domestic users, recycling centres accept up to 5 L; otherwise, consider home composting or storing until a suitable collection scheme is available.
