Businesses We Support
We work with a wide range of food-related businesses in Stockport and surrounding areas. Whether you generate small or large quantities of oil each week, we can offer a collection schedule that suits your operation.
Our clients include:
- Restaurants, pubs, cafés, and takeaways
- Hotels, guesthouses, and B&Bs

Why Responsible Disposal Matters
Improper disposal of cooking oil and fats can lead to environmental pollution, sewer blockages, and expensive fines. UK law requires that food businesses dispose of their oil using registered waste carriers who provide the correct paperwork.
By choosing our service, your oil is taken to a licensed facility where it’s turned into biodiesel. This renewable fuel reduces dependence on fossil fuels and contributes to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. It's a responsible choice that benefits your business and the environment.
How Our Process Works
We make the process as straightforward as possible. Here’s how it works:
- You contact us to book a free collection
- We schedule a convenient pickup time around your business hours
- Our collection team arrives and collects the oil safely and cleanly
- You receive a Controlled Waste Transfer Note for compliance records
- The oil is taken to a recycling facility and turned into renewable biodiesel
We also remove used oil containers including plastic drums, metal tins, and cardboard box-inserts. If you need help sourcing suitable containers, just let us know—we’re happy to assist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the service really free?
Yes. There is no charge to you. Our business model is based on recycling the used oil into biodiesel, which allows us to cover the cost of collections while offering the service at no cost to the customer.
What containers should I use?
Store your oil in sealed, leak-proof containers such as 20L plastic drums or metal tins. If you need help finding containers, we can supply them or advise on safe options.
Do I need documentation?
Yes, but we handle this for you. We provide a Controlled Waste Transfer Note with every collection to ensure you remain compliant with UK waste management laws.
How often can collections be scheduled?
We offer flexible scheduling—weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or as needed. If your volumes vary, we can adjust our visits accordingly.
What happens to the oil after it’s collected?
It’s taken to a licensed recycling facility where it’s processed into biodiesel or other forms of renewable energy. This keeps it out of landfills and contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions.
