Waste Cooking Oil Collection in Grimsby

This notice is for Grimsby-based food businesses, caterers, and commercial kitchens: our free waste cooking oil and animal fat collection service is currently not available in Grimsby or its surrounding areas within North East Lincolnshire. Although we serve many parts of Yorkshire, Grimsby lies outside our collection network.

Why Grimsby Is Not Covered

Our collection routes are optimised for efficiency, environmental impact, and consistent scheduling. Grimsby, part of North East Lincolnshire, is outside our core service region in Yorkshire. Extending operations into this area would involve increased travel times, logistical challenges, and higher emissions, which are not justified under our current demand and service model.

We continually assess opportunities for expansion. However, at present, Grimsby does not fall within our collection perimeter.

Postcode Areas in Grimsby That Are Not Covered

We do not serve any of the following Grimsby postcode areas:

• DN31 1 - Central Grimsby, town centre, docks
• DN31 2 - East Marsh, Laceby Road
• DN31 3 - Cromwell Road, Weelsby Road
• DN31 4 - Scartho Road, Riverhead Road
• DN31 5 - Grimsby suburbs near Cleethorpes Road

Commercial Businesses We Cannot Service in Grimsby

• Restaurants and cafés
• Fish and chip shops and other takeaways

What Should You Do If You're Operating in Grimsby?

If your business in Grimsby produces waste cooking oil or animal fats, it’s essential to work with a licensed waste carrier in compliance with UK regulations. Each collection must be accompanied by a Controlled Waste Transfer Note to ensure lawful disposal.

To find a registered carrier, please consult the Environment Agency public register. Choose a provider that offers full certification, responsible handling, and appropriate documentation.

Areas We Do Provide Coverage

While Grimsby is not included in our zone, our service is available in many parts of Yorkshire, including:

• Leeds
• Wakefield
• Bradford
• Huddersfield
• Halifax
• Barnsley

If your business is located in or near these towns, you may qualify for our licensed and legally compliant waste oil collection service, complete with schedule coordination and documentation.

Can Grimsby Be Included in Future Plans?

Potentially. As local interest grows and logistical feasibility improves, we may extend service into Grimsby. Food businesses in the area are welcome to register interest with us—demonstrating demand is a significant factor in deciding whether to add new coverage zones.

Environmental Responsibility and Compliance

All waste oils we collect are processed under strict environmental guidelines, typically transformed into biofuels or industrial lubricants. We do not dispose of oils via landfill or illegal dumping.

We encourage Grimsby businesses to work only with registered carriers that comply with Environment Agency standards to protect the environment and ensure regulatory compliance.
