Waste Vegetable Oil Collection & Recycling in Ryedale and Surrounding Areas
We receive many enquiries about waste vegetable oil collection in Ryedale and the surrounding rural and market town areas. While we specialise in dependable and eco-friendly oil recycling throughout North Yorkshire, we currently do not collect in the Ryedale area. This includes towns such as Malton, Pickering, and Helmsley, as well as the surrounding villages and parts of the North York Moors.
Our commitment to sustainable waste management remains strong across Yorkshire. However, due to logistical and route limitations, we are unable to provide collection services in Ryedale at this time. We recommend checking with your local council or regional waste oil recycling firms that operate within the Ryedale district to ensure responsible disposal.
Why We Cannot Service Ryedale Businesses
Although many Ryedale-based food businesses would benefit from a reliable waste oil collection service, we are currently focused on supporting areas closer to our operational hubs. This allows us to offer consistent scheduling, cost-effective routing, and environmentally responsible logistics to our active service zones.
- Restaurants and takeaways in Malton and Pickering
- Pubs and inns in Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside
- Cafés, tea rooms, and bistros in Thornton-le-Dale and Hovingham
- Care homes, schools, and community kitchens across the Ryedale region
If you're operating one of these businesses, we understand your need for proper oil disposal. While we’re unable to collect, we strongly encourage continued recycling through certified local providers.

Environmental Advice for the Ryedale Community
Improper disposal of used cooking oil can lead to blockages in drainage systems and pollution in local waterways. We encourage all Ryedale businesses to use certified oil collection services and avoid pouring oil down the drain.
Many local recycling firms process collected oil into biodiesel and other renewable fuels. Choosing the right disposal method helps keep Ryedale’s natural landscape clean and supports the district’s environmental goals.
