Used Cooking Oil Pickup and Disposal for Sunnyvale Kitchens

A dosa griddle on El Camino Real or a patio kitchen on the Murphy Avenue pedestrian mall fills a grease container faster than anyone plans for, and Sunnyvale Municipal Code Chapter 12.12 expects a record of where every gallon went. Between the lunch rush out of Moffett Park and a Santa Clara County placard inspection that can land any day, nobody in the kitchen has time to chase a hauler who shows up whenever.

Oil Guyz runs free used cooking oil pickup across Sunnyvale, from Historic Murphy Avenue and Cityline through the El Camino Real corridor to the Moffett Park campus cafeterias. A locked bin sized to your fryers goes at the back door, the oil is pumped in place on a fixed day, and a CDFA-compliant digital manifest lands in your inbox after every stop for the city sewer file and the county health file. No fee, no contract, no minimum, and the oil is recycled into renewable fuel feedstock.

Fill out the form on this page to request pickup for your Sunnyvale kitchen. A real person calls you back the same business day to set the pickup day and the bin size, and most Sunnyvale kitchens, downtown or out on El Camino Real, are on the route within the week at no cost to the back of house.

Oil Guyz treats downtown Sunnyvale as one tight cluster with two faces. The 100 block of South Murphy Avenue has been closed to cars since June 2020 and is being rebuilt as a permanent pedestrian mall (City of Sunnyvale, Downtown Development), so its restaurants seat guests in the street and take deliveries through the rear. Next door, the 36-acre Cityline project is filling with tenants: the Silicon Valley Voice reported in March 2025 that Cityline's commercial space was more than 80 percent leased, with Shake Shack, Senro Sushi, and Sana's House Cafe joining six restaurants already open. Both sets of Sunnyvale kitchens need a bin that fits a loading dock, not a yard.

Oil Guyz sees the heaviest fryer volume in Sunnyvale along El Camino Real, where the city's South Asian kitchens cluster between Mathilda Avenue and Lawrence Expressway. Metro Silicon Valley (August 2026) described El Camino between Santa Clara and Palo Alto as a corridor where a diner could eat at a different Indian restaurant every day for three months, and a long stretch of that corridor runs through Sunnyvale. Dosa griddles, vada and samosa fryers, and tandoor kitchens change oil more often than a burger line, and the Korean, Chinese, and Persian kitchens on the same strip add to the count. Wolfe Road, Fair Oaks Avenue, and Homestead Road carry the strip-center kitchens that feed the neighborhoods behind them.

Oil Guyz runs the north end of Sunnyvale on a weekday schedule because Moffett Park eats on a weekday clock. The Moffett Park Specific Plan area covers about 1,270 acres and held roughly 95,683 jobs when the city filed the Draft EIR (City of Sunnyvale, CEQAnet, 2022), and the campuses along Mathilda Avenue, Java Drive, and Enterprise Way run cafeterias sized for that headcount. Those kitchens are managed by contract food service companies with their own facilities rules, so Oil Guyz clears the dock window with the site contact, places a standard locked bin, and emails the CDFA-compliant digital manifest to whoever keeps the sustainability file. The Bay Area line, (415) 319-7606, is the number for schedule changes.
