Yes. Food processor used cooking oil collection from Oil Guyz is built for manufacturing volume, not adapted from a restaurant route. We set a scheduled cadence matched to your fill rate so oil leaves before a full tank can slow a line, and we adjust the cadence for new products, seasonal surges, and added shifts. Pickup is performed by our CDFA-licensed renderer partner, and Oil Guyz coordinates the whole schedule with a real person you can reach when timing needs to change.

Yes, California requires a manifest for every used cooking oil pickup, and we issue a CDFA-compliant digital manifest after each collection. Electronic manifests are legal under California's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and records are retained for a minimum of two years. That gives your quality, compliance, and accounting teams audit-ready proof of who collected the oil and where it went. See the regulation: www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/california/3-CCR-1180.24

Your oil is routed to a CDFA-licensed renderer under the state's Inedible Kitchen Grease (IKG) program, which licenses transporters and renderers specifically to document chain of custody and guard against theft and dumping. From there it is recycled into biodiesel and renewable-diesel feedstock. You can read about the program here: www.cdfa.ca.gov/AHFSS/MPES/

Used cooking oil is a waste feedstock for renewable fuels, which makes the carbon math strong. Renewable diesel achieves roughly a 65% average carbon-intensity reduction (DOE/CARB), and waste-feedstock biodiesel and renewable diesel cut lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions by about 79–86% (DOE AFDC). Under the EPA Renewable Fuel Standard, biomass-based diesel must show at least a 50% lifecycle GHG reduction, and UCO qualifies.

No long-term contract. Service is month-to-month, you can cancel anytime, and we provide a free locked, anti-theft container sized to your volume, there is nothing to buy and no equipment lien filed against your facility. Used cooking oil has commodity value as biodiesel feedstock, which is what allows us to offer scheduled collection and full digital-manifest documentation on these terms.

Grease theft is a documented problem, which is why every account gets a free, locked, anti-theft container and why the CDFA Inedible Kitchen Grease program licenses transporters and renderers in part to guard against theft and dumping with verified chain of custody. The container keeps your oil secured and accounted for from your dock until the scheduled pickup. Program details: www.cdfa.ca.gov/AHFSS/MPES/

Yes. The Filtrate portal gives you one dashboard across every facility, pickup history, schedules, containers, and the digital manifest from each collection, with per-location mobile apps so each plant sees its own activity while corporate sees the whole footprint. Volume and records roll up for quality, compliance, and sustainability reporting, and you can add or remove sites without re-papering a fresh contract.

We currently serve Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, the Inland Empire, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Tacoma and the Pacific Northwest, and we are actively expanding. If your facilities fall outside these areas, tell us your locations and we will notify you as we expand into your region.
