Waste Cooking Oil and Animal Fat Collection in Glossop

Thank you for your interest in our waste oil collection services. We specialise in the responsible disposal of used cooking oil and animal fats for commercial food businesses. Unfortunately, Waste Cooking Oil and Animal Fat Collection do not collect in Glossop or the SK13 postcode area. If you operate in this area, we recommend working with a licensed local provider to ensure proper disposal.

Why We Don’t Cover Glossop

Our waste oil collection routes are designed around operational logistics, service efficiency, and environmental impact. At present, Glossop falls outside our established routes due to its distance from our base and the surrounding road network. Expanding into new areas requires careful consideration to ensure low emissions, efficient fuel use, and service consistency.

While Glossop is not currently covered, we routinely evaluate new locations for potential inclusion. If enough interest is shown from local businesses, we may explore future options for service expansion in the region.

Glossop and Surrounding Areas Not Covered

The following locations within and around the SK13 postcode are not currently serviced by our collection vehicles:

• Glossop town centre
• Hadfield
• Dinting
• Padfield
• Charlesworth
• Gamesley
• Simmondley
• Brookfield
• Whitfield

These locations form part of the High Peak Borough in Derbyshire. Businesses in this region are advised to work with Environment Agency-registered waste carriers for their cooking oil and fat disposal needs.

What Businesses in Glossop Need to Know

All UK food businesses are legally obligated to dispose of used oils and fats through certified waste handlers. This includes restaurants, takeaways, pubs, cafés, food manufacturers, and mobile catering units. The following points apply to all commercial premises in Glossop:

• Waste oil must never be poured down drains or thrown in general waste bins
• You must store waste oil in leak-proof, sealed containers
• Only a licensed waste carrier may remove the oil
• You must receive a Controlled Waste Transfer Note for every collection

Failure to follow these rules can result in large fines, prosecution, and potential environmental damage. High Peak Borough Council and the Environment Agency can assist with identifying local registered carriers for your business needs.

Where We Do Operate

Although we don’t currently collect in Glossop, our services are fully operational in parts of Yorkshire and the North of England. Our active coverage includes:

• Leeds
• Wakefield
• Huddersfield
• Bradford
• Halifax
• Barnsley (South Yorkshire)
• Parts of Greater Manchester (excluding High Peak)

In these regions, we provide:

• Free collection service for commercial customers
• Full documentation and Environment Agency compliance
• Professional-grade barrels and storage options
• Responsible oil processing for biodiesel and renewable energy

What Happens to the Oil We Collect

All oil collected by our service is taken to approved processing centres, where it is converted into biodiesel or other renewable fuel types. This helps reduce the demand for fossil fuels and supports the UK’s goal to transition toward a sustainable, circular economy.

By recycling cooking oil into renewable energy, businesses can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a greener future. Our team works with licensed processors to ensure the entire chain of custody is legal, traceable, and environmentally responsible.
