Waste Cooking Oil Collection in Withernsea

We wish to inform all food-related businesses—such as restaurants, cafés, takeaways, pubs, mobile caterers, and care home kitchens—that our free waste cooking oil and animal fat collection service is currently not available in Withernsea or its surrounding coastal areas. While we operate across various parts of Yorkshire, Withernsea falls outside our current service boundary.

Why Withernsea Is Not Included

Our collection routes are designed for maximum efficiency, sustainability, and route optimization. Withernsea, located on the East Yorkshire coast near the Humber estuary, lies beyond our current route planning. Including Withernsea would introduce additional distance and carbon emissions without sufficient commercial volume to sustain the service. We continuously evaluate service demand, so Withernsea may be considered in the future if local business interest increases.

If You Operate in Withernsea, What Should You Do?

Businesses in Withernsea that produce used cooking oil or animal fats must ensure proper disposal using a licensed waste carrier in compliance with UK law. A Controlled Waste Transfer Note must be issued for each collection to show lawful transfer.

We recommend using the Environment Agency’s public register (searchable online) to identify registered waste oil collectors in or near Withernsea. Make sure your chosen provider offers full documentation and environmental compliance.

If your operations are in or near these regions, you may be eligible for our licensed free waste oil collection service, complete with legal transfer documentation and scheduled pickup.

Environmental Compliance and Sustainability

All the used cooking oils we collect are processed responsibly under UK environmental regulations. They are usually converted into renewable biofuels or sustainable industrial by-products. We do not dispose of oils via landfill or waterways.

While Withernsea awaits service, we encourage all local businesses to only engage with licensed waste carriers that provide full traceability and certification.
