Core Commercial Services: Get Rid Of Unwanted Used Cooking Oil and Grease
Whether you are running a large food processing plant or a commercial kitchen, you could be producing a massive amount of grease and fats that need safe disposal, and many areas strictly prohibit businesses from pouring used cooking oil into sewer systems. It is crucial that you maintain environmental regulations and keep your business green. But did you know you can profit from the sale of these materials? You can! We’ll buy these products from you and provide you a competitive value for any materials that you sell.
Improperly trying to dispose of oil can lead to sewage overflow and contamination, creating added compliance risks.
These materials can be recycled and used for a wide range of purposes, both benefiting the environment and improving the reputation of your business through optimized waste oil management. At GF Commodities, our goal is to keep your business green while making sure that you can find a new source of income to increase the profitability of your business. We don’t just clear the waste away; we provide the transactional certainty and pricing integrity that allows your primary business to move forward safely and on schedule.
Products We Purchase for Industrial Grease Recycling
Reliable Used Cooking Oil Pickup Services
Busy kitchens and commercial food processors can’t afford delays. That is why our used cooking oil pickup schedules are customized to fit your specific volume and operational needs. From automated scheduling to prompt collections, we ensure your tanks never overflow and your business keeps running smoothly. Facility visits are always available through GF Commodities, with regularly scheduled used cooking oil collection and professional cooking oil collection service tailored to higher-volume businesses. While some communities offer curbside collection, local residential limitations vary greatly:
- Federal Way, Washington: Allows up to 3 gallons.
- California: Accepts up to 15 gallons of cooking oil per person (with California’s Used Oil Recycling Program supporting small-scale collection through grants).
- Hillsborough County, Florida: Offers year-round cooking oil collection stations.
Because of these strict residential limits, larger operations still benefit from commercial pickup and recycling cooking oil at scale. We serve restaurants and other food businesses and can collect material for transport to the appropriate processing facility. Let us help increase your value through oil recycling, where the process can turn used cooking oil into biodiesel and renewable diesel.
Setting the Standard as Your Trusted Cooking Oil Recycling Company
Partnering with the right cooking oil recycling company means more than just clearing out the back of your restaurant or industrial kitchen. We provide top-tier collection services and equipment that help keep your workspace clean, safe, and compliant with local regulations, while meeting applicable regulatory standards, local permit requirements, and any state or local permit obligations for handling used oil, as well as federal government compliance expectations where applicable.
What Happens To Your Oils? Renewable Resource Conversion
Do you want to ensure that you are contributing through professional used cooking oil recycling? Some operators may reuse oil before recycling, depending on quality and smoking point. The oils and fats that we buy are sold to biodiesel companies, choice white grease companies, and the animal feed and pet feed market, and refined used cooking oil can also be repurposed into renewable resources for renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel, other renewable fuels, and biofuel that supports cleaner fuel and broader energy production. Recycling also helps prevent spills that can harm aquatic environments much like petroleum oils.
This can reduce carbon emissions by up to 74% and helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The conversion process typically involves refining and treatment, with the oil heated and passed through a filter to remove food particles before conversion, and about one gallon of biodiesel can be made from 8.5 pounds of oil. In 2024, used cooking oil accounted for 81% of SAF in the EU, and SAF production capacity grew from 2,000 to nearly 30,000 barrels per day by late 2024. When you choose our service, you’ll be part of a far larger recycling system where the level of waste products from your business is greatly reduced. Contact us today and discover how you can make more from these unwanted materials and earn more for your business.
