Quick Answer

Long Beach restaurants can have used cooking oil picked up free of charge. Oil Guyz splits the city into three zones, from the Cambodia Town fryer houses on Anaheim Street and Belmont Shore's 2nd Street brunch spots to the port-area commissary kitchens, leaving a free locked bin and pumping it on your schedule. Every pickup produces a CDFA-compliant digital manifest (California Title 3, Section 1180), the exact record Long Beach's own city health department looks for. No contract, no fees, emergency overflow response, and oil recycled into biodiesel. That's why Long Beach kitchens choose Oil Guyz.

Long Beach Grease Pickup, Free for Restaurants From Belmont Shore to the Port

Run a brunch kitchen on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore and you know how fast the fryer oil piles up. Weekend crowds mean frying session after frying session, and the used oil container out back fills faster than most services can keep up with. Let it sit too long and you get a sticky mess, a bad smell, and a health inspector who notices before your regulars do.

Oil Guyz picks up your used cooking oil across Long Beach for free. We install a locked, anti-theft container with a spill containment tray so nothing leaks into the alley, and after every stop we email you a CDFA-compliant digital manifest, the same kind of paperwork the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services expects to see on an inspection. No contract, no fee, no minimum gallons, and a real person answers when you call. Your oil gets recycled into clean biodiesel, never dumped.

Fill out the form on this page to request pickup for your Long Beach kitchen. A real person calls you back the same day, not sometime next week. Whether you're near the port, in Bixby Knolls, or tucked along Pine Avenue downtown, most Long Beach kitchens land on a dependable route within the week. Get started now and stop worrying about where the oil goes.

What Long Beach Kitchens Get When They Switch to Us

Long Beach packs more culinary diversity per square mile than almost any city in LA County. The Cambodian restaurants along Anaheim Street form one of the largest Cambodian food corridors outside of Phnom Penh. Add the brunch spots on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore, the craft breweries in the East Village Arts District, and the seafood houses near the waterfront, and you have a city where every type of kitchen needs a grease management plan that actually works.

The Port of Long Beach drives a massive secondary food economy. The truck stops, commissary kitchens, and worker cafeterias surrounding the port generate consistent oil volumes around the clock. These facilities operate on tight schedules dictated by shipping container throughput, and a missed pickup can mean grease overflow during peak dock hours when inspectors are most active.

Our Long Beach routes are split into three zones: the downtown and waterfront corridor, the central neighborhoods from Wrigley to Traffic Circle, and the eastern stretch from Belmont Shore through Marina Pacifica. This structure lets us keep arrival windows tight even in a city where traffic patterns shift dramatically between port hours and beach traffic.

Cooking Oil Disposal & Health Department Compliance in Long Beach

Long Beach operates its own city health department, separate from LA County, which means restaurant inspections follow a local protocol that can differ from what operators experience elsewhere in the region. The Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services conducts unannounced inspections with specific attention to grease trap maintenance and outdoor oil storage conditions. Restaurants in the downtown Entertainment District and along the waterfront face additional scrutiny during major events like the Grand Prix and Long Beach Pride. A documented pickup schedule with digital manifests is one of the simplest ways to demonstrate compliance during these inspections without pulling staff away from service to dig through paper records.

“These dudes really bailed me out of a tough situation. My previous oil collection service had been really screwing me over. Spent 4 weeks of unanswered phone calls, texts, and empty promises with a company we've been using for two years just to get a used oil recepticle, all to no avail. We were sitting on 6 fryers with of oil I that I had nowhere to put. Called Joey and The Oil Guyz and he got me set up just a few hours later. Used oil container, service agreement, answered all of my questions. We're running a very odd program where our schedule is all over the place, so having a "regular" pick up schedule is out of the question. We worked out a way for quick/easy retrieval in about 5 minutes. Can't recommend these guys enough.”

Restaurant & Commercial Kitchen Services in Long Beach

Our Los Angeles route serves Long Beach kitchens on a fixed schedule, with the same free pickup, free locked bin, and compliance manifest on every visit.

How It Works

Step 1

Today: Book your free pickup

Tell us your kitchen address, your bin size, and how often you want service. We confirm your route within 24 hours and place a clean, locked bin this week, before your first pickup. No contract, no setup fee.

Step 2

You get a heads-up on pickup day so your team is ready. Oil Guyz collects and recycles every gallon into clean biodiesel that runs trucks and fleets. Your bin stays locked between visits and the oil leaves clean, no spills, no overflow.

Step 3

After every pickup: Proof in your portal

The moment your bin is empty, your CDFA-compliant digital manifest lands in your portal. Download it from any device, ready for an inspector. Customer service is one tap away if you ever need anything.

Long Beach Used Cooking Oil Pickup FAQ

It is genuinely free. There is no pickup charge, no rental fee for the locked collection bin, and no fuel surcharge. We make our money on the recycled oil itself, so the service costs your kitchen nothing whether you run a small brunch spot on 2nd Street or a high-volume fryer line in Cambodia Town. There is no contract and no minimum volume, so you are not locked in. If a hauler is quoting you monthly fees or equipment rental for cooking oil collection in Long Beach, you are overpaying for something we provide at no cost.
For most Long Beach kitchens the value is in free, reliable removal plus the locked bin and compliant paperwork, not a per-gallon check. Rebates only make sense at high consistent volume, generally around 250 gallons or more per month, which a handful of Port-area commissary kitchens and busy Anaheim Street fryer houses can reach. Margins on recycled oil are thin since we operate as a recycler, not a commodity trader, so if you qualify we will talk numbers honestly. Just ask when you call and we will look at your actual output before promising anything.
Every gallon goes to our licensed renderer and is refined into clean renewable fuel, mostly biodiesel and renewable diesel feedstock that displaces petroleum diesel. It never goes to a landfill or down a drain. Each pickup is logged with a CDFA-compliant digital manifest under Title 3 Section 1180, so there is a documented chain of custody from your back door to the refinery. You can learn more about what recycled cooking oil becomes from Clean Fuels Alliance America. For your records, we keep manifests on file for seven years.
Keep it simple. Pour cooled oil straight into the locked collection bin we place at your location and close the lid. Do not water it down, and try to keep food scraps and large solids out, since cleaner oil is easier to recycle. Let hot oil cool before transferring so nobody gets burned and the bin stays intact. You do not need to filter or strain it for us. If your kitchen in Belmont Shore or Bixby Knolls is tight on back-of-house space, we will help position the bin where your team can reach it without crossing the line during service.
Yes, and switching is the most common reason kitchens call us. Because there is no contract and no minimum, you can leave a hauler that ghosts you and start with us right away. We will set a real route schedule, place a free locked bin, and size it to your actual output so a heavy fryer week in Downtown or near Traffic Circle does not leave you overflowing. A real person answers the phone, so you are not stuck leaving voicemails when a bin fills early. Most restaurants are fully switched over within a few days of that first call.
Long Beach runs its own city health department, separate from LA County, so inspectors here may look for documentation tied to local protocol. Every pickup we do generates a CDFA-compliant digital manifest with a documented chain of custody to our licensed renderer, which is exactly the kind of record that satisfies an inspector without you digging through paper. We also keep seven years of records on file. The city publishes its list of approved waste cooking oil collection companies for reference.
No on both counts. Pouring grease down a drain causes the fat, oil, and grease blockages that the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services and the city's water quality program watch for, and it can trigger violations plus expensive sewer backups in older Downtown and Wrigley plumbing. Tossing liquid oil in the trash invites leaks, pests, and citations. Used cooking oil is not classic hazardous waste, but it does have to be recycled through a proper collector. Our free scheduled pickup keeps it out of your drains and dumpster entirely, with a manifest documenting every gallon.
Yes, downtown Long Beach is one of our busiest pickup zones in all of LA County. We serve restaurants along Pine Avenue, the Promenade, the Pike Outlets area, and the East Village Arts District on a weekly schedule. Drivers on our routes are familiar with the parking and alley access constraints in the downtown grid, including the one-way street patterns and loading zone hours that change during events. Many downtown restaurants have limited back-of-house space, so we work with your team to position the container in the most accessible location possible. If your restaurant is in a multi-tenant building with shared alley access, we coordinate arrival times to avoid conflicts with other vendors.
Absolutely. Cambodia Town along Anaheim Street between Junipero and Cherry is one of our established route corridors in Long Beach. Many Cambodian restaurants in this area do heavy deep-frying and produce higher-than-average oil volumes relative to their square footage. We account for that during container sizing so you are never stuck with an undersized bin that overflows between pickups. Drivers on our routes on this route speak to operators regularly and understand the specific needs of kitchens that produce both standard fryer oil and the heavier oils used in traditional Cambodian cooking. Pickup timing is scheduled around the lunch-to-dinner transition when kitchen activity is lowest.
Port-adjacent restaurants and commissary kitchens have unique scheduling needs because their busiest periods align with container ship arrivals and dock worker shifts rather than typical meal times. We build our port-area routes around these patterns so pickups happen during actual kitchen downtime, not during the 5 AM rush when longshoremen are lining up. Facilities near the port also tend to have larger containers and higher volume requirements due to the concentration of workers in the area. We provide up to 300-gallon sealed bins for high-output kitchens and can schedule multiple pickups per week when volume warrants it. Access through port security checkpoints is pre-arranged during onboarding.
No. The state-level CDFA Inedible Kitchen Grease transporter license covers all cities in California, including Long Beach. There is no additional municipal permit required specifically for UCO collection within the city. However, Long Beach does have its own health department with inspection authority over grease management practices at food facilities. Our CDFA license, combined with the digital manifests we generate after every pickup, satisfies both state-level transportation requirements and local health department documentation standards. We carry copies of our license and insurance certificates on every truck, and your restaurant receives a manifest after each service for your compliance file.
