Passaic Used Cooking Oil Recycling Services
Restaurants from Clifton to West Milford pour 800 pounds of fryer oil a month, oil that New Jersey classifies as a “Class D recyclable” and regulates under the A 901 solid waste transporter law according to the NJDEP. The County’s Office of Recycling coordinates disposal rules for all 16 towns, so one missed pickup can trigger a nuisance citation according to Passaic County records. Our NJ based fleet closes that compliance gap with free, sensor driven collections and 24 hour turnaround.

Why Responsible Oil Recycling Matters Here
Fatbergs cost New Jersey utilities over $3 million in 2024 alone, clogging sewers with solidified fats, oils and grease according to Grease Connections’ statewide audit. Grease is never accepted in compost, warns ACUA’s county recycling guide, and discharges above 70 mg/L can violate NJPDES groundwater permits. Recycling every gallon keeps local waterways clear and protects your ServSafe score during surprise health inspections.

One Stop: Pick Up → Disposal → Biodiesel
We install the right drum or tank in 48 hours, collect on the schedule you choose, and deliver the oil to a regional biorefinery that turns it into low carbon diesel according to Grease Connections’ circular economy report. Daily route density in North Jersey lets us match (or beat) the five star cadence already ranking for “used cooking oil pickup Passaic County.”
Have a current provider and need to switch? No worries we handle that.
Containers Built for Jersey Kitchens
Indoor space is tight, so we stock drums and tanks sized for every fryer volume. According to Grease Connections NJ guide, cafés favor 55 gallon drums, boardwalk kiosks roll 70 gallon caddies, and high volume sites lock down 140 or 300 gallon tanks.
| Capacity | Foot print | Typical User |
|---|---|---|
| 55 gal drum | 23″ Ø × 35″ | Food trucks, cafés |
| 70 gal caddy | 24″ × 32″ | Diners, bakeries |
| 140 gal tank | 30″ × 48″ | Hotels, schools |
| 300 gal tank | 40″ × 60″ | Stadiums, commissaries |
Your Environmental Impact, Quantified
Chinese UCO imports surged 60% in 2024 to feed U.S. renewable diesel demand according to Reuters, yet locally sourced oil delivers an 80% lifecycle GHG cut without overseas shipping. The U.S. recycling industry still moves $2 billion a year despite recent headwinds according to Research & Markets. Every Passaic County gallon we collect displaces 0.79 kg of CO₂, documented in your dashboard.
Pricing & Cash Rebates
Used cooking oil carries commodity value, and reputable recyclers share it. Grease Connections notes that haulers often pay $0.30 to $0.45 per clean gallon, adjusted to the New York Board of Trade yellow grease index. Our program pays every gallon, with no minimums and no “market rate” clauses. Restaurants switching from a fee based hauler save an average $750 a year after rebates.
