Yes. The whole point of hotel cooking oil pickup done right is one account covering every kitchen that fries, your main restaurant, banquet and catering kitchen, lobby café, poolside grill, and room-service line, each with its own free locked container sized to how hard it works. You get one contact, one consistent service standard, and one Filtrate dashboard that rolls up every outlet. If you operate several properties, the same account extends across the whole group with property, regional, and corporate views.

Banquet kitchen cooking oil collection is built to flex with your calendar. Containers are sized for peak event load so a wedding-weekend buffet or multi-day conference never overflows a bin, and you can schedule extra pickups ahead of a known event surge or add one on request, a real person answers the same day. A busy fast food location alone generates roughly 35 pounds of used cooking oil a day (about 12,775 lb a year), and a banquet operation in full swing far exceeds that, so right-sizing and flexible scheduling matter.

Yes. California requires a manifest for every commercial inedible-kitchen-grease (used cooking oil) collection, documenting the chain of custody to a licensed renderer, and you get a CDFA-compliant digital manifest after every pickup at every outlet. Electronic manifests are explicitly legal, the rule requires they conform to California's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, with a two-year minimum retention, and we retain well beyond that in your Filtrate account. See the rule at www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/california/3-CCR-1180.24 and the program at www.cdfa.ca.gov/AHFSS/MPES/

Every gallon collected is recycled through a CDFA-licensed renderer into feedstock for biodiesel and renewable diesel, and your Filtrate account gives you attributable data, gallons diverted, where they went, what they became. Those fuels deliver real, sourced reductions: waste-feedstock biodiesel and renewable diesel are roughly 79 to 86 percent lower in lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions than petroleum diesel, and renewable diesel cuts carbon intensity about 65 percent on average.

Used cooking oil is a genuine theft target, industry reporting estimates roughly 75 million dollars of it is stolen each year, and the USDA values about 100 pounds at around 25 dollars, so an unsecured bin by a loading dock or pool deck is a standing loss and a break in your chain of custody. Every outlet on the program gets a free locked anti-theft container, which also keeps a leaking or overflowing bin away from guest-facing areas. Background:

No. Service is month-to-month with no long-term lock-in and no auto-renewal trap, and you can cancel anytime. Your full pickup and manifest history exports cleanly from your Filtrate account on exit, so your records and chain-of-custody documentation stay audit-ready. The program has to earn your property every period, that is the point.

We serve Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, the Inland Empire, the Bay Area, and Tacoma / the Pacific Northwest, and we are expanding. If your properties are concentrated in these regions, every one can go on a single account. If you have hotels outside the current footprint, tell us where they are and we will let you know as we expand into those areas; we never imply coverage we do not have.

For genuinely high-volume operations, generally around 250 gallons a month or more across a property or group, a rebate may apply on qualifying sites. It is handled case by case rather than promised up front, since margins in this trade are thin. If your banquet and catering volume is large, contact us and we will look at it honestly.
