Stop Paying for Grease Disposal, Start Earning Instead
Is used cooking oil worth money? Absolutely. Hillsborough businesses earn $0.10-0.50 per gallon through our recycling services. While others charge for grease removal, we share renewable energy profits with you. Your cooled cooking oil becomes renewable diesel, preventing sewage spills and protecting wastewater systems.
Our spinner white decorative containers blend seamlessly with upscale properties. These brightly colored, theft-proof units store oil safely away from other liquids. Following all applicable regulations, we handle grease trap maintenance coordination, ensuring proper disposal that protects sewage lift stations across the county.
The average Hillsborough restaurant saves $2,000 yearly. Grocery stores with delis earn $40-80 monthly from fryer oil alone.
