Paterson Used Cooking Oil Recycling
Every week Grease Connections Paterson route driver rolls from Market Street to Totowa Avenue collecting fryer oil for same day used cooking oil recycling pick up and scheduled disposal grease jobs. Unlike others who truck oil to Newark, Grease Connections processes through Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission’s acceptance gate only nine miles away, cutting carbon and wait time for manifests.

Compliance You Can Count On
New Jersey adopts the International Plumbing Code’s rule that a grease interceptor must be emptied when solids reach 25 percent of capacity or at least every 90 days. PVSC’s Pollution Prevention Unit also inspects traps annually and fines unregistered haulers. Grease Connections’ DECAL registered fleet meets the DEP tagging and record keeping mandate, so every gallon you hand over is audit proof.
How Grease Connections Paterson Pick Up Works
Book online by 3 p.m., and tomorrow Grease Connections’ sealed barrel or tank is swapped, the driver scans the QR manifest, and a PDF ticket lands in your inbox, records you must keep three years under NJDEP policy. Theft resistant lids, spill trays, and winterized hose couplings keep alleys clean and inspectors happy, a shortcoming flagged in many Passaic County health audits.

Environmental & Community Impact
Every collected gallon is refined into low sulphur biodiesel, offsetting 16 lbs CO₂ versus landfill disposal, according to EPA FOG recovery studies. Passaic County’s Office of Recycling promotes the same closed loop model during its quarterly hazardous waste drives, underscoring local demand for verified recycling routes.
Insider Tips to Sail Through Inspections
Store pump out receipts and oil tickets within arm’s reach of the three compartment sink; that is the first place PVSC officers look. Use NJDEP’s free Origin & Disposal form to pre populate plate numbers before busy weekends. Finally, photocopy your hauler’s DEP decal; inspectors can phone verify live from the kitchen floor during surprise visits.
