Jersey City Fryer Oil Recycling Made Simple



Why Compliance Matters in Hudson County

The Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority requires every food establishment to capture fats, oils, and grease and pump grease traps at least every 90 days or when solids reach 25 percent capacity. Fines start at $270 for a first overflow. According to the latest sewer rules, properly sized grease traps are mandatory for any site cooking or packaging food.

From Waste Oil to Low Carbon Fuel

Your fry oil’s second life powers municipal buses and cargo ships. Each 100 gallons diverted from landfill prevents roughly 881 pounds of CO₂ emissions, the same as driving a passenger car 970 miles. By closing this loop, your kitchen meets Scope 3 goals without buying offsets.
