Hudson Fryer Oil Recycling Made Simple



Full Service Used Cooking Oil Pick Up

We collect grease on a custom schedule daily, weekly, or on demand using sealed vacuum trucks that meet NJDEP transporter licensing rules, according to the agency’s Used Oil Regulations. Drivers scan RFID tags on every container, instantly emailing a digital manifest to satisfy the county FOG permit. Live route optimization reduces idling and lowers neighborhood noise.

Transparent Grease Disposal Process

Collected oil travels directly to our Newark transfer hub before refinement into biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel. Used cooking oil is now a prized feedstock in the federal Renewable Fuel Standard, notes the U.S. EPA. Each client portal shows net gallons, carbon offset equivalents, and current commodity rebates protecting kitchens from black market grease theft that plagues New Jersey, according to Grease Connections.

Local Regulations & Compliance

Hudson eateries must install interceptors and maintain haul records under municipal codes in West New York and Union City. NJDEP classifies UCO as a special waste subject to RCRA tracking; failure to recycle can trigger hazardous waste citations. Our manifests sync automatically with the North Hudson Sewerage Authority’s 2025 FOG portal, ensuring “zero paper” audits.

Digital manifests meet NHSA FOG program rules.

Circular Economy & Biodiesel Impact

Recycled Hudson grease feeds Northeast biodiesel plants that cut greenhouse gas emissions up to 78 percent versus diesel, the Alternative Fuels Data Center reports. Hudson’s output alone can power 1,500 passenger cars for a year, according to EPA yield tables. Farmers also rely on UCO to compete with cheaper imports, a trend outlined by the Financial Times.
