Waste Cooking Oil Collection in Pocklington

We wish to inform food businesses, restaurants, cafés, takeaways, pubs, catering providers, and commercial kitchens located in and around Pocklington that waste cooking oil and animal fat collection service is not currently available.

Although we offer reliable, environmentally compliant collections across significant parts of West and South Yorkshire, the town of Pocklington and its immediate areas fall outside our current operational network.

Why Pocklington Is Not Covered

Our collection routes are carefully mapped to ensure efficiency, low emissions, and timely service. At present, Pocklington, located on the western edge of East Riding, is beyond our scheduled collection range. Including Pocklington would require additional transit time without sufficient business volume to justify the expense and environmental impact.

We continually monitor demand and logistics. If enough local businesses express interest, Pocklington may be considered for inclusion in future route expansions.

If You’re Based in Pocklington, What Should You Do?

If your business generates used cooking oil or animal fats, it is essential to ensure lawful disposal through a licensed waste carrier. UK regulations require that waste transfers are backed by a valid Controlled Waste Transfer Note.

To locate a registered waste carrier, please consult the Environment Agency public register. Always choose a carrier who provides full certification and adheres to official waste standards.

Collection Areas We Do Serve

While Pocklington remains outside our current service area, we provide trusted waste oil collection in the following regions:

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

If your premises are located in or near these areas, you may qualify for our free, legally compliant waste oil collection service, which includes documentation for each collection.

Environmental Responsibility and Compliance

Every waste oil collection we make follows rigorous standards. Collected oils and fats are repurposed into biofuels or other industrial uses, rather than being landfilled or disposed of illegally.

We encourage all businesses to proactively work with carriers who follow Environment Agency regulations to ensure environment protection throughout the waste chain.
