Yellow Grease Buyers Disposal Services
Yellow Grease Disposal & Reliable Bulk Yellow Grease Collection Services
GF Commodities pays businesses for their UCOs, yellow grease, and choice white grease. A lot of people do not realize that vegetable oils can be reused in a number of different ways and have real market value, with used cooking oil able to sell for 21 to 41 cents per pound. Instead, they simply pour the oil down the drain without a second thought, along with valuable dollars. Pouring oil down drains can also lead to severe plumbing issues, foul odors, and costly sewer system blockages. By partnering with a professional used cooking oil collection service, you protect your infrastructure while staying eco-friendly. However, you can help our planet by re-thinking how you dispose used cooking oil disposal; selling it instead of treating it as waste also helps reduce landfill pollution and lets you make money.
We will pay you for your used soybean oil, corn oil, and more, giving you a simple way to sell it back for revenue. This is money you can then reinvest into your business for any number of different things to facilitate company growth. Whether you manage a restaurant, a food manufacturing facility, or a large commercial kitchen, yellow grease recycling is no longer just optional—it is a critical component of a sustainable, compliant, and profitable food service operation.
What is Yellow Grease?
Yellow grease is a high-value commodity primarily composed of used cooking oil (UCO) and recovered vegetable oils or animal fats that have been filtered and processed. Originating from commercial deep fryers in restaurants and food service facilities, this recycled grease is entirely distinct from brown grease. Because of its low moisture content and energy density, yellow grease serves as a critical feedstock for clean energy production, animal nutrition, and industrial manufacturing.

Biodiesel Fuel and UCOs: Turning Grease into Renewable Energy
Also known as yellow grease, we deal with UCOs that can be reused. This comes from different types of vegetable oils like canola oil, corn oil, and soybean oil. This yellow grease is a key feedstock for biodiesel production and renewable diesel, among other products tied to the cooking oil market. Renewable diesel and biodiesel producers are the largest market for yellow grease.
Biofuels created from fuels like yellow grease burn cleaner than most other types of fuels. They have a lower carbon content and create very little carbon monoxide. They can also be utilized for the creation of heat and power. Demand in this market is shaped by the Renewable Fuel Standard and clean fuel tax credits tied to renewable fuel and renewable energy production. By choosing professional yellow grease recycling, your business directly supports the circular economy—transforming waste oil into green energy, reducing our dependence on petroleum, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional fossil fuels.
Other areas that this yellow grease can be used in include some forms of clothing, detergents, cosmetics, soap, and livestock feed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much can I sell my used cooking oil for?
Used cooking oil prices naturally fluctuate based on broader commodity markets, supply, demand, and government policies. Because market rates shift daily, payouts are determined by current commodity values and the overall quality and purity of your oil. We provide a singular, complete price structure based on 100% of your in-spec weight to ensure you always receive a competitive, transparent return.
What makes yellow grease different from brown grease?
Yellow grease is recovered directly from fryers and consists of clean, used vegetable oils and animal fats with low impurities. Brown grease is retrieved from commercial grease traps and is heavily contaminated with rotten food debris, greywater, and sludge, making it a lower-value material that is much harder to repurpose.
Do you provide the equipment needed for oil storage?
Yes. We supply safe, secure, and theft-resistant storage containers tailored to your kitchen’s specific space and volume requirements. Our professional pickup crews handle the entire collection process cleanly and seamlessly without disrupting your daily operations.
