Free Used Cooking Oil Pickup for Rancho Cucamonga Restaurants

Rancho Cucamonga fries along its corridors. A sit-down restaurant on Foothill Boulevard, a kitchen in a Victoria Gardens suite and a lunch counter feeding the business parks all end the day with cooled fryer oil and nowhere convenient to put it. Each one needs a bin that stays closed and a pickup the kitchen does not have to chase.

Rancho Cucamonga restaurants get free pickup of used cooking oil from Oil Guyz, with no contract and no minimum. Each kitchen gets a locked bin sized to its fryer line, pumped in place on a set pickup day, and a CDFA-compliant digital manifest emailed after every visit. A transporter registered under the CDFA Inedible Kitchen Grease program performs the pickup, and the oil goes to a licensed renderer to become feedstock for renewable diesel and biodiesel.

To start, send the form on this page with the restaurant address or call (909) 500-2488. A person calls back the same business day to set the bin size and the pickup day, and the first pickup follows in 3 to 5 business days.

Rancho Cucamonga is a city of long corridors, and its fryers sit along them. Foothill Boulevard is the historic Route 66 through town, which the city is marking with a centennial this year. Haven Avenue climbs from the business corridor and the Civic Center to the Chaffey College campus in the north, and Day Creek Boulevard ties Victoria Gardens to the Base Line Road centers. The city counts a daytime population of about 208,500, so the lunch rush here is office, campus and warehouse crews as much as residents. Oil Guyz sets one free locked bin for used cooking oil at each kitchen, sized to the fryer line, and pumps it in place on a set pickup day.

What changes from stop to stop is the building. At Victoria Gardens and the other shopping centers, the bin spot and building access are settled with the restaurant and the property manager before the first visit, and a compact locked container fits a pad restaurant with no rear yard. Kitchens in the Southeast Industrial Area, the Haven Avenue offices and the Empire Lakes blocks feed office and warehouse crews, so a kitchen there can ask for a pickup day and bin size that fit its volume. The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes have played at the Epicenter since 1993, and the city signed a new 15-year lease in October 2024, so a concession or nearby grill with a busy home stand can call for an added pickup of used cooking oil.

Etiwanda to the east and Alta Loma to the west get the same service as the corridors in between. Every pickup is performed by a transporter registered under the CDFA Inedible Kitchen Grease program, and the used cooking oil goes to a licensed renderer, where it becomes feedstock for renewable diesel and biodiesel.
