Yes, genuinely free. It is free because we are paid for the oil, not by you. Oil Guyz recycles your used cooking oil into clean renewable fuel, so the pickup, the bin, and the compliant manifest cost you nothing. No setup fees, no service charges, no surprise invoices, no minimum volume. Kitchens producing 250+ gallons a month may also qualify for a rebate; contact us and we will check. Request your free pickup above and we will set it up this week.

No. Every customer is month-to-month. No long-term contract, no cancellation fee, no early-termination penalty. We earn your business on every pickup, not with fine print. If you ever want to stop, call us and we either fix the problem on the spot or close your account with no fee. A lot of kitchens come to us because the last company trapped them in a bad contract, so you will never feel stuck with Oil Guyz. Start your free pickup above, no strings attached.

Weekly, every other week, or on demand, set to your kitchen volume so the bin never overflows. Most full-service restaurants running fryers daily pick weekly. Lower-volume kitchens often do fine every other week. Not sure? We size it with you up front based on your fryers and daily covers, and you can change it anytime by call or text. Tell us your volume above and we will build the right route this week.

Call or text and we schedule an emergency pickup, usually within hours, seven days a week. Overflow happens during busy holidays and catering pushes, and we treat it seriously because a full oil bin is a health-code and environmental risk. If it keeps happening, we bump your pickup frequency or upsize your container at no extra charge so you always have the capacity you need. You are never stuck cleaning up an overflow alone, so get on the schedule above before your next rush.

Yes. Every pickup is performed under an active CDFA Inedible Kitchen Grease license through our licensed renderer, fully insured for liability and pollution. Each pickup generates a CDFA-compliant digital manifest that meets 3 CCR Title 3 Section 1180, and your records are kept for the required seven years. When a health inspector or CDFA auditor asks for your oil records, the full audit trail is one click away in your portal. Your kitchen stays compliant from fryer to final fuel, with no paperwork to chase. Request your free pickup above and we will have you inspection-ready from day one.

Oil Guyz runs used cooking oil collection routes across California, from Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, and the Inland Empire to the San Francisco Bay Area, plus the Pacific Northwest including Tacoma and Seattle. We are adding new metros, so if your kitchen is near an area we do not serve yet, drop your city and state in the form below and we will email you the moment we go live there. The app, manifest system, and your portal work the same everywhere we operate.

No. Oil Guyz handles everything so you and your team can keep running the kitchen. After your first pickup and bin placement are set, every visit runs the same way with no involvement from your staff. Your container is serviced, the area around it is left clean, the lid is locked, and you get a digital confirmation when it is done. If the bin sits behind a locked gate, we arrange key or code access during onboarding so there is never a delay. Request your free pickup above and we handle the rest.

Every pickup automatically creates a digital manifest stored in your portal. Log in anytime to see your full pickup history, download any manifest, and pull compliance reports. Each manifest carries the date, time, volume collected, and destination facility, which is exactly what a health inspector or CDFA auditor asks for. You also get an email confirmation after every visit, and you can export any date range as a PDF in about ten seconds. Start your free pickup above and your records build automatically from day one.

After collection, your used cooking oil is recycled at a licensed renderer into biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel. The full chain of custody, from your fryer to the finished fuel, is documented in your portal. Your kitchen's oil never ends up in a landfill or down a sewer. Every gallon becomes clean fuel that powers long-haul trucks, municipal fleets, and commercial flights. Request your free pickup above and put your oil to work.

We handle the whole switch for you. Just tell us your current schedule, where your bin sits, and when you want us to start. If you have a contract, check it for any notice period; most are month-to-month, some need a short heads-up. Once you are clear, we drop off your new container, set your schedule, and are ready for your first pickup within days. Most kitchens switch in under a week, and you never coordinate anything with your old company. Request your free pickup above and we will start the switch today.

The safe, legal way is to never pour it down a drain or into the trash. Let the oil cool, store it in a sealed container, and have a licensed used cooking oil recycler collect it. In California, commercial kitchens must use a CDFA-licensed hauler and keep a manifest for every pickup. Oil Guyz handles all of it for free, including a locked bin, scheduled pickups, and the compliant record an inspector asks for. Request your free pickup above.

Let the fryer oil cool, then pour it straight into the locked collection bin we provide. Do not add water, food scraps, or cleaning chemicals, since contamination lowers the oil recycling value. Keep the lid sealed between uses to control odor and pests, and you do not need to filter it or use separate jugs. On your scheduled day our driver pumps the bin in place, so there is nothing for your staff to lift or move. Request your free pickup above.

Nearly all liquid frying oils and fats qualify: vegetable, canola, soybean, peanut, corn, sunflower, and blended fryer oils, plus rendered animal fats and shortening once they liquefy. These become feedstock for biodiesel and renewable diesel. What does not belong in the bin is motor oil, grease-trap interceptor waste, or oil mixed with water and chemicals. If you are unsure about a specific oil, ask us and we will confirm before your first pickup. Request your free pickup above.

Recycling keeps fats, oils, and grease out of your sewer lines, which are the top cause of kitchen backups and FOG citations, and it turns a waste stream into clean renewable fuel. Renewable diesel made from used cooking oil can cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to about 65 percent versus petroleum diesel. You also get documented, inspection-ready disposal. With Oil Guyz it costs nothing, because we are paid for the oil, not you. Request your free pickup above.

Look for four things: a real license (in California, a CDFA Inedible Kitchen Grease transporter license), a compliant manifest after every pickup, no contract or hidden fees, and a real person who answers when a pickup is missed. Free pickup and a free locked anti-theft bin should be standard, not upsells. Ask where the oil actually goes, because it should be a licensed renderer making renewable fuel. Oil Guyz checks every box. Request your free pickup above.
