Each food outlet on the property, buffet, banquet kitchen, branded restaurant, poolside grill, snack bar, gets its own free locked anti-theft container and its own pickup schedule timed to how hard that kitchen fries. Everything rolls up to one Filtrate account, so corporate sees every outlet in one dashboard while each outlet manager sees only theirs. You add or remove outlets without renegotiating anything, because service is month-to-month.

Yes. California requires a manifest for every used cooking oil collection, documenting chain of custody to a licensed renderer, and electronic manifests are explicitly legal under the California Uniform Electronic Transactions Act with a two-year minimum retention (we keep them well beyond that). You get a CDFA-compliant digital manifest after every pickup at every outlet, stored in the portal and exportable for audits. See the rule at www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/california/3-CCR-1180.24

Hauling is performed by our CDFA-licensed renderer partner under California's Inedible Kitchen Grease (IKG) program, which licenses transporters and renderers and documents chain of custody to deter theft and illegal dumping. Oil Guyz coordinates the schedule, places the containers, runs the Filtrate account, and makes sure the documentation is complete. You can read about the program at www.cdfa.ca.gov/AHFSS/MPES/

Yes, that is the whole point of placing a container at each outlet instead of one at the dock. A continuous-fry buffet line gets a high-capacity container with frequent service, while a poolside grill or snack counter gets a smaller bin on a lighter schedule. Banquet kitchens get supplemental pickups around conventions, wedding weekends, and member galas. Containers are resized or replaced at no charge as an outlet's volume changes.

Every container is a free locked anti-theft container. Used cooking oil is a stolen commodity, so an open bin on a back dock is a real target. Locked custody also keeps your manifest totals honest, because what gets collected matches what the licensed renderer receives, and that documented chain of custody is exactly what the CDFA Inedible Kitchen Grease program exists to protect.

No. Service is month-to-month, no long contract, no auto-renewal trap, cancel anytime. The containers, the scheduled pickup, and the digital manifests are all free. Oil Guyz earns its keep by recycling the oil, not by locking your property into a multi-year agreement.

Every gallon is recycled through a CDFA-licensed renderer into feedstock for biodiesel and renewable diesel. Renewable diesel cuts carbon intensity about 65% on average versus petroleum diesel (DOE/CARB: afdc.energy.gov/fuels/renewable-diesel ), and waste-feedstock biodiesel and renewable diesel deliver roughly 79–86% lower lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions (DOE AFDC: afdc.energy.gov/fuels/biodiesel-production ). The manifest trail lets you report that contribution for ESG and sustainability.

Oil Guyz serves Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, the Inland Empire, the Bay Area, and Tacoma/Pacific Northwest, and we're expanding. If your property is outside those regions, tell us your locations and we'll notify you as we expand into your area.
