Our Services

We provide a professional, licensed, and completely free waste cooking oil and animal fat collection service to commercial kitchens, food businesses, and catering providers across various regions of the United Kingdom. Whether you operate a small café or a large restaurant, we make the collection and recycling of used oils easy, legal, and eco-friendly.

All collections are fully compliant with UK waste disposal laws and include a Controlled Waste Transfer Note to help you meet your environmental responsibilities. Our goal is to help you dispose of oil correctly while supporting renewable energy solutions and circular economy practices.

What We Collect

We collect the following materials as part of our standard service:

Used cooking oil from fryers and grills
Waste vegetable oil including rapeseed, sunflower, and soybean oil
Animal fats such as lard and beef dripping
Mixed oils and fats stored in suitable containers

We do not charge for collection, provided the oil is not heavily contaminated with food debris, water, or chemicals. You can reuse your existing containers, or we can provide blue food-grade barrels in 60-litre sizes for safe storage and pickup.

Who We Serve

We work with a wide variety of businesses, including:

Restaurants, takeaways, and cafés
Pubs, bars, and nightclubs
Golf clubs and leisure centres
Hospitals, care homes, and schools
Casinos, hotels, and catering venues
Mobile food vendors, event caterers, and food trucks

Our clients benefit from regular, reliable pickups scheduled on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis depending on oil volume and location. Our friendly team arranges everything at a time that suits your business operations, minimising disruption to your workflow.

Collection Areas

Based in West Yorkshire, we serve several surrounding regions including parts of Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Barnsley, and South Yorkshire. If your business is located nearby, get in touch to confirm availability. We are expanding and frequently updating our service routes.

Free Waste Oil Collection

Our core service is free. We do not charge for waste oil pickup as long as it meets the following conditions:

Minimum quantity of 20 litres (location-dependent)
Oil is not mixed with food waste, soap, or chemicals
Oil is stored in sealed containers or barrels provided by us

Once we collect your oil, you’ll receive documentation confirming the legal transfer of waste. This is especially useful during Environmental Health or Food Standards inspections.

Why Proper Disposal Matters

Improper disposal of cooking oil — such as pouring it down the sink or mixing it with general kitchen waste — can lead to serious problems:

Blocked drains and sewer backups
Unpleasant odours and rodent infestations
Damage to local water systems and ecosystems
Potential legal action and fines for non-compliance

Commercial waste oil must never be taken to household recycling centres or poured into motor oil disposal tanks. These facilities are not licensed for food-based oils, and misuse can lead to contamination and rejection of the entire recycling batch.

How the Process Works

Our collection process is designed to be as simple and stress-free as possible:

Contact Us: Get in touch via phone or our website with your location and estimated oil volume.
Arrange Collection: We’ll schedule a time and frequency that suits your operations — weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
Receive Containers (If Needed): We supply 60L food-safe barrels or collect from your existing containers.
Collection Day: Our licensed team arrives on time, collects your oil, and issues a Waste Transfer Note.
Recycling: The oil is taken to authorised facilities for conversion into biodiesel or reuse in approved industries.

This process helps your business stay compliant and sustainable while keeping operations smooth and cost-effective.

Where Your Oil Goes

We make sure your oil has a second life. After collection, waste cooking oil and fats are filtered, treated, and repurposed into valuable products such as:

Biodiesel for transport and logistics industries
Renewable fuel for industrial boilers and generators
Power sources for agricultural machinery and farms
Eco-friendly ingredients in soaps, cosmetics, and detergents
Raw materials for construction innovations such as eco-bricks
Bioremediation agents for cleaning polluted soils

Your waste oil helps power local economies, reduce landfill, cut carbon emissions, and create circular resource streams that benefit everyone.

Legal and Environmental Compliance

We follow all regulations set out by the Environment Agency and comply with the Animal By-Products (Enforcement) Regulations. Waste oil from food production must not be used in animal feed or poured into public drainage systems. Our service ensures you remain within the law at all times.

All documentation, including Waste Transfer Notes and licensing details, is provided to help your business maintain high standards during audits or inspections.
