Complete grease‑management menu
We only handle food‑grade oils; motor‑oil disposal belongs at county depots.
Scheduled cooking oil pickup
Our vacuum truck connects to the sealed port, removes every gallon in under five minutes, and updates your online dashboard with date‑stamped volume data. Regular, rush‑hour‑aware routes keep kitchen floors dry and staff focused on prep.
Used Cooking Oil Recycling
After filtration and de‑watering, your fryer oil becomes ASTM‑rated biodiesel that powers Bergen County snowplows, school buses, and delivery vans—cutting lifecycle carbon emissions by up to 78 percent.
Bulk grease hauling and Disposal
During fryer replacements, seasonal shutdowns, or post‑holiday deep cleans, we dispatch a 1,500‑gal vac tanker to remove accumulated fats in a single trip, preventing leaks on docks and eliminating waste oil.
Grease Trap Pump‑Out & Line Jetting
One combo unit vacuums the trap, pressure‑jets the lines at 3,000 psi, and leaves a digital compliance report that satisfies every municipal FOG inspector in Bergen County.
Emergency Overflow & Spill Response
A certified crew arrives within 60 minutes, contains the overflow with absorbent boom, recovers the oil, steam‑washes the surface, and files an incident report—minimizing slip hazards and preventing EPA fines.
Three‑step process plan
1. Request your Service
Complete our short form or text your location, ZIP code, and estimated weekly gallons. Within ten minutes you’ll receive a line‑item rebate quote that locks in your per‑gallon rate—no setup fees, deposits, or contracts.
2. Container Delivery
A certified technician positions the right‑sized heated or low‑profile tank, trains your crew on the pump wand, and schedules collections to trail your largest supplier shipments so loading docks stay uncluttered.
3. Pickups & Pay
At each visit we vacuum every gallon, wipe the pad clean, and photograph the new tamper seal. A PDF manifest posts to your compliance portal, and your rebate lands by direct bank transfer the next business day—turning waste oil into predictable cash flow.

Success story — Mahwah Meal Prep Hub
A 24‑hour meal‑kit facility in Mahwah that produced 225 gal/week replaced two corroded 55‑gal drums with a sealed 300 gal heated tote equipped with a wireless sensor. In the first twelve months, rebates jumped from $410 to $700 per month, adding $8,400 to the bottom line. Slip‑and‑fall incidents fell to zero, insurance premiums dropped four percent, and NJDEP spot inspections now wrap up in less than ten minutes because digital manifests sync automatically to the facility’s compliance portal.

Frequently asked questions
What happens during snow emergencies?
Our 4×4 vacuum truck follows county plow routes and maintains service unless roads close entirely; pickups then run within 24 hours of reopening.
Can I bundle grease‑trap service?
Absolutely. Adding trap pump‑out during oil collection lowers your total service cost by ten percent.
Do your containers require electricity?
No. All units are passively insulated and the optional fill‑level sensor runs on a long‑life battery, so there is no impact on your utility bill.
Is volume too low for rebates?
Any volume qualifies—whether your kitchen produces five gallons a month or five hundred, you earn the same per‑gallon rebate through our shared‑route program.
