A typical fast food location generates roughly 35 lb of used cooking oil per day, about 12,775 lb a year, and fried-chicken or fish-forward concepts produce considerably more (source: www.frontlineii.com/oilcare-blog/cooking-oil-collection-for-fast-food/). Because of that volume, pickup frequency is matched to your actual fry output rather than a generic weekly route, so the container never overflows and the fry line never stops. We set the schedule from your fry volume, hours, and menu mix, then increase it during limited-time fried promotions and seasonal peaks.

Yes. Scheduled used cooking oil pickup is free regardless of volume, and it includes a free locked anti-theft container that we deliver, service, and replace at no cost. Service is month-to-month, no long contract, no setup fees, cancel anytime. There is real value in your used oil because it becomes renewable-fuel feedstock, which is how free pickup works.

Every pickup generates a CDFA-compliant digital manifest documenting the chain of custody, date, gallons, transporter, and the licensed renderer that received the oil. California requires a manifest for every used cooking oil pickup, electronic manifests are legal under the state's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and records are kept well beyond the two-year minimum (source: www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/california/3-CCR-1180.24). Everything is stored in the Filtrate portal and exports in one click for a corporate audit or county inspection.

The collection and transport are performed by our CDFA-licensed renderer partner under a documented chain of custody. Oil Guyz provides the service relationship, the free locked container, the Filtrate portal, and the compliance documentation. The CDFA Inedible Kitchen Grease program licenses transporters and renderers and documents that chain of custody to prevent theft and illegal dumping (source: www.cdfa.ca.gov/AHFSS/MPES/).

You manage every location from one Filtrate dashboard, with a mobile app per location and role-based access, corporate sees the whole portfolio, a district manager sees their region, and each general manager sees only their own site. Adding a new unit joins the same account; closing one removes it cleanly. You get portfolio-wide and per-unit compliance documents in one place, so audit prep is an export, not a week of chasing paper across a dozen haulers.

Every container we deploy is a locked anti-theft unit with tamper-resistant hardware, and pickup frequency is matched to your volume so a full container is never sitting out for long. Grease theft is a real and costly problem, an estimated $75 million is stolen each year, and the USDA values about 100 lb of used oil at roughly $25, which makes a full fast food bin a repeatable target. If a container is compromised, we swap it out at no charge.

It is recycled into feedstock for biodiesel and renewable diesel rather than landfilled or poured down a drain. Waste-feedstock fuels made from used cooking oil cut lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions by roughly 79 to 86 percent versus petroleum diesel (source: afdc.energy.gov/fuels/biodiesel-production), and used cooking oil qualifies under the EPA Renewable Fuel Standard, which requires at least a 50 percent lifecycle GHG reduction for biomass-based diesel (source: www.epa.gov/renewable-fuel-standard/overview-renewable-fuel-standard-program). That gives your brand a documented diversion story for corporate sustainability reporting.

We currently serve Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, the Inland Empire, the Bay Area, and Tacoma/PNW, and we are expanding. If you operate fast food locations outside those regions, tell us where your units are and we'll notify you as we open service in your area, useful for multi-state operators planning ahead.
