Oil Guyz places a free locked anti-theft container at each kitchen and sets a fixed pickup schedule for every site. Every facility rolls up into one Filtrate account, so your corporate facilities or environmental services team sees pickup history, container status, and the full manifest archive for the whole system in one dashboard, while each location keeps a per-location mobile app. After every pickup, a CDFA-compliant digital manifest is generated automatically. Adding a new building to the account takes no new contract.

A CDFA-compliant digital manifest after every single pickup, documenting chain of custody from your kitchen to a CDFA-licensed renderer. California requires a manifest for every used cooking oil pickup; electronic manifests are legal under the state's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and records must be kept for at least two years. Oil Guyz keeps a permanent, searchable archive so you can produce any record instantly. See the CDFA manifest rule: www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/california/3-CCR-1180.24

Correct. Pickup is free, the locked anti-theft container is free, and delivery, installation, swaps, and service are all included. Service is month-to-month with no long contract and no early-termination penalty, you can cancel anytime. We make our margin downstream when the oil is recycled into renewable-fuel feedstock, which is why scheduled pickup costs your facility nothing.

Used cooking oil is a traded commodity, and industry estimates put grease theft in the tens of millions of dollars a year, with the USDA valuing roughly 100 pounds near twenty-five dollars. A thief siphoning an unlocked container breaks the chain of custody your facility is required to document. The free locked anti-theft container secures the oil between pickups, and because it moves under a licensed transporter through the CDFA program, the documented chain of custody is anti-theft and anti-dumping by design.

Your oil becomes feedstock for biodiesel and renewable diesel, verifiably clean fuel. Renewable diesel delivers roughly a 65% average carbon-intensity reduction according to the DOE and CARB afdc.energy.gov/fuels/renewable-diesel, and waste-feedstock biodiesel and renewable diesel cut lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by about 79 to 86 percent per the DOE's Alternative Fuels Data Center afdc.energy.gov/fuels/biodiesel-production. Under the EPA Renewable Fuel Standard, biomass-based diesel must achieve at least a 50% lifecycle GHG reduction and used cooking oil qualifies www.epa.gov/renewable-fuel-standard/overview-renewable-fuel-standard-program. That gives you a documented diversion story for ESG and community-benefit reporting.

Oil Guyz currently serves Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, the Inland Empire, the Bay Area, and Tacoma/PNW, and we're expanding. If some of your facilities fall outside those areas, tell us all your locations and we'll notify you as we expand into them, and we'll get your in-region kitchens onto one account right away.

Pickups are performed by our CDFA-licensed renderer partner. Every transporter and renderer in the chain operates under the CDFA's Inedible Kitchen Grease program, which licenses transporters and renderers and documents chain of custody to guard against theft and illegal dumping. That licensing is what makes the manifest you receive a legally meaningful chain-of-custody record. Program overview: www.cdfa.ca.gov/AHFSS/MPES/

For very high-volume operations, rebates can come into the conversation, generally where a single location consistently generates around 250 or more gallons per month. It depends on the facility and current market conditions, so the best path is to contact us with your volumes and we'll tell you honestly what applies. For most healthcare kitchens, the bigger value is the free locked container, the automatic chain-of-custody manifest, and one account across every facility.
