Welcome to Turn Key Used Cooking Oil Recycling in Alpharetta

Alpharetta Compliance Snapshot
Before a new eatery can open, Community Development requires a Grease Trap Permit Application separate from the plumbing packet, and inspectors want manifests kept on site for three years. Georgia Rule 391-3-6-.24 classifies fryer oil as “oil waste residue,” meaning only registered haulers may transport it; fines climb to $25k per day for unauthorized dumping, per the EPD. Fulton County’s FOG portal used by Alpharetta sewer staff flags missing pump outs automatically, so timely uploads are non negotiable.
What the Service Covers
- Leakproof steel or UL 2152 listed poly tank delivered within 48 hours.
- Scheduled or on demand grease pickup with real time weight tickets auto shared to the FOG portal.
- Quarterly interceptor audits and staff training bundled in; most haulers up charge for both.
- Seven day ACH payouts on every waste oil disposal so cash flow stays smooth, even during patio season.
How a Typical Pickup Flows
Order in the app, confirm the two hour window, and a certified tech scans your RFID tag, pumps the oil, wipes down the pad, and uploads the manifest; all in under ten minutes, 30 percent faster than regional averages. You get an instant text plus a PDF for your records before our truck leaves the lot.

Expert Storage Advice
Cooking oil is a Class IIIB combustible liquid; quantities over 60 gal must sit in listed metallic tanks or UL 2152 systems, according to UL’s code bulletin. Alpharetta storm water staff also ask operators to keep containers 50 feet from any inlet and deploy spill socks when space is tight. Finally, label every vessel “USED COOKING OIL” and keep lids closed; EPA warns open tops risk RCRA violations and pests.
Environmental & Financial Upside
Congress extended the Clean Fuel Production Credit 45Z through 2031, increasing demand and rebate payouts for fryer oil sourced inside the U.S. An average restaurant generates roughly 12,775 pounds of oil annually, enough to craft 1,500 gallons of biodiesel and prevent nearly 40 metric tons of CO₂. Multiply that by Alpharetta’s 300 plus food permits and the city’s chefs are a quiet climate action force.
Route Coverage & Scheduling
Daily dawn and late night grease pickup routes roll through downtown Alpharetta, North Point, and Old Milton Parkway, with GPS links so managers watch the truck icon inch toward their dock. Biofuels powers each vehicle on in house B100 produced just an hour away in Monroe, cutting fleet emissions by 80 percent.
