Waste Cooking Oil Collection in Driffield

We would like to inform food businesses, catering companies, takeaways, and commercial kitchens that our waste cooking oil and animal fat collection service is currently not available in Driffield or its surrounding areas. Although we provide reliable, licensed collections across parts of West and South Yorkshire, Driffield falls outside our active operational zone.

Why Driffield Is Not Currently Covered

Our collection network is designed to minimise emissions, optimise routes, and maintain service reliability. At present, Driffield lies beyond the reach of our scheduled collection circuits. Due to its location within East Riding of Yorkshire, including Driffield would require significant logistical expansion, which is not yet feasible based on current demand.

We continue to monitor business interest in excluded areas and may expand our service coverage in the future if regional demand increases. For now, however, Driffield remains outside our supported area.

What Should You Do If You’re Based in Driffield?

If you operate in Driffield and need to dispose of used cooking oil or animal fats, you are still legally required to do so through a licensed waste carrier. The law mandates that you retain a Controlled Waste Transfer Note (WTN) for each collection as proof of lawful disposal.

You can locate a licensed carrier near you using the Environment Agency's public register. Be sure to verify that the provider is registered and offers full documentation for legal compliance and environmental responsibility.
