Introduction to Cooking Oil Recycling in Augusta
Cooking oil recycling is a vital service for commercial kitchens and food service establishments across Augusta, GA. Every day, local businesses generate gallons of used cooking oil—also known as UCO—that, if not properly managed, can become a costly waste problem. By choosing professional cooking oil recycling, Augusta restaurants turn this used oil into a valuable resource. Companies like Grease Connections offer reliable, safe, and efficient oil recycling services, ensuring that every drop of used cooking oil is collected and recycled responsibly.
Recycling cooking oil doesn’t just help the environment by reducing landfill waste and preventing grease from clogging city sewer systems—it also delivers real financial benefits. Used cooking oil is transformed into biodiesel, a clean-burning, renewable fuel that supports a greener planet. For restaurants, this means less worry about oil disposal, fewer grease trap clogs, and the opportunity to earn money from what was once considered waste. With your trusted Augusta company, handling the process from collection to recycling, businesses can focus on serving customers while contributing to a sustainable future and keeping operational costs in check.
We focus on making the recycling is a seamless journey and beneficial for our customers, so you can enjoy the advantages without hassle.

“What our Customers Are Saying”
★★★★★
“Summer heat made our old disposal company skip pickups. Too smelly, they said. These folks increased schedule frequency instead. They ensure we never overflow. That’s real service.”
Angela Reid, Medical District

“We’re near Fort Gordon’s Gate 5. Soldiers eat 24/7, which means lots of grease. Their trucks have base access, drivers have clearances. They handle our odd hours without complaint.”
Marcus Johnson, Military Highway

Lisa Park, Downtown Augusta
Turn Waste Into Environmental Win
Picture this: Your restaurant produces 300 gallons of used cooking oil monthly. Instead of paying for disposal, you earn about $120. But the real win? That oil is transported to a specialized plant, where it becomes biodiesel, reducing emissions equal to taking 3 cars off Augusta roads.
Our recycling process at the regional facility prevents used oil from becoming hazardous waste. Every gallon processed at the plant helps our planet breathe easier. State-permitted operations ensure safe handling from your kitchen to final product.
The environment wins. Your business wins. Augusta wins. That’s the power of proper oil recycling. Use our calculator to see the impact.
Our Promise: Not satisfied? Switch back anytime. We’ll reinstall their container.
