Quick Answer
Oil Guyz provides free used cooking oil pickup and disposal for Fullerton restaurants, from Downtown Fullerton on Harbor Boulevard and Commonwealth Avenue and the SOCO blocks of Santa Fe Avenue to Cal State Fullerton, Amerige Heights and the Orangethorpe Avenue corridor. Each kitchen gets a locked bin, a set pickup day and a CDFA-compliant digital manifest that is ready for the City of Fullerton FOG inspector. No fee, no contract, no minimum. Call (714) 880-4788.
Used Cooking Oil Collected Free From Fullerton Alleys to Orangethorpe Avenue
Two rows of downtown Fullerton restaurants, the Commonwealth Avenue row and the Santa Fe Avenue row in the SOCO District, back onto one service alley with almost no room for a container. Out on Orangethorpe Avenue and in Amerige Heights there is more space, and the same need for a locked container and a record of every pickup.
Oil Guyz picks up used cooking oil from Fullerton restaurants at no charge, with no contract and no minimum. The bin is a compact locked caddy or a standard locked bin, pumped in place on a set pickup day, and a CDFA-compliant digital manifest arrives by email after every visit and is kept two years. The oil goes to a licensed renderer and becomes feedstock for renewable diesel and biodiesel.
Call (714) 880-4788 or send the form on this page and name the street where the kitchen sits. A person returns the call the same business day to settle bin size and pickup day, and the first pickup follows in 3 to 5 business days.
Alleys, Campus Terms and Restaurant Corridors: Fullerton Used Cooking Oil Service
Oil Guyz picks up used cooking oil free from Fullerton restaurants, from Downtown Fullerton and the SOCO District to Cal State Fullerton and Orangethorpe Avenue. Downtown is the tight part of the route: the City of Fullerton's SOCO District page says the Commonwealth Avenue businesses back up to the alley that separates them from the Santa Fe Avenue businesses, so two rows of kitchens share one service lane. The container has to match the room behind each door, a compact locked caddy where space is tight and a standard locked bin where the lane is wider, and a downtown kitchen can ask for an early-day pickup.
Volume from Fullerton restaurants follows the downtown lunch trade and the campus calendar. Cal State Fullerton expected more than 45,000 students in fall 2026, with a fall recess November 23 to 29 and examinations December 12 to 18 on its official calendar. A kitchen near the campus can call (714) 880-4788 to move or add a pickup around the recess and examination weeks, while the locked bin and the manifest stay the same all year.
Along Orangethorpe Avenue the restaurants live on retail traffic. Fullerton Town Center at Harbor Boulevard, Amerige Heights Town Center on West Malvern Avenue, the Euclid Street and Rosecrans Avenue centers and Sunny Hills complete the route, and every restaurant on it gets a free locked bin, a pickup day matched to volume and a manifest after each visit, with no fee, no contract and no minimum.

What Fullerton Asks of a Restaurant Kitchen, and How the Bin and Manifest Cover It
The City of Fullerton runs the grease rules for its restaurants through the Public Works FOG Control Program, and each kitchen holds a permit with the city. In plain terms, the city asks a kitchen to keep used cooking oil out of the drain, to hold it in a covered container until it is recycled, and to keep its pickup paperwork for two years in case an inspector asks. The Oil Guyz locked bin is the covered container, the driver pumps it in place on a set day, and the CDFA-compliant digital manifest emailed after every Fullerton pickup is the paperwork. The Orange County Health Care Agency handles the food permit separately.
Where Fullerton Kitchens Read the Grease Rules
The City of Fullerton Public Works Department runs the Fats, Oils, and Grease Control Program. Its page holds the FOG FAQ, the permit application, a best practices fact sheet in several languages and the record logs, and it is the first place a new Fullerton kitchen should look. Fullerton is also a member city of the Orange County Sanitation District, which owns the regional sewers.
The Orange County Health Care Agency permits the kitchen itself. The city's fact sheet tells kitchens to use covered recycling containers, and the Oil Guyz locked bin is that container. The manifest emailed after every Fullerton pickup is the record any of the three agencies can ask for.
What Your Fullerton Restaurant or Commercial Kitchen Gets
- Compact locked caddies and bins fitted to the shared downtown alley, so a restaurant's used cooking oil stays out of sight between pickups
- A pickup day set to each kitchen's volume, with an early-day stop available on request for downtown restaurants
- A kitchen near Cal State Fullerton can call to move or add a pickup around the November 23 to 29 fall recess and the December examination weeks
- A new Fullerton restaurant gets its bin set and first pickup booked before opening day, so the first manifest is on file from the start
- A CDFA-compliant digital manifest after every pickup, kept two years for your FOG inspector
- One route for Orangethorpe Avenue, Amerige Heights, Euclid Street and Bastanchury Road restaurants, with extra downtown pickups available by phone around city event dates

“As a manufacturing bakery, we recently needed a one-time pickup of approximately 3,000 lbs of used donut oil. Unfortunately, there was very little information available regarding the company that had handled this service previously, so I had to start from scratch. I found Oil Guyz online and was impressed from the first conversation. Joey, the owner, was extremely helpful and took the time to walk me through the entire process, making the coordination simple and straightforward. Prior to contacting Oil Guyz, I had attempted to reach other providers and had difficulty getting assistance. Oil Guyz was responsive, accommodating, and easy to work with from start to finish. The pickup was completed within the timeframe communicated, and the team handled the removal seamlessly with no disruption to our operation. Their professionalism and customer service made what could have been a challenging process very easy. We would absolutely use Oil Guyz again and would recommend them to other food manufacturing facilities looking for a reliable used cooking oil recycling partner.”See full review

“We’ve had a great experience with Oil Guyz! I submitted a quote request through their website for our restaurant, and Joey reached out to us right away. From our first conversation, he has been extremely helpful, patient, and responsive. Joey really made the whole process easy for us. He was willing to work with our team on the best location for the bin, answered all of our questions, and kept in touch to make sure everything was taken care of. I especially appreciate his follow-through and willingness to help without ever making us feel rushed. Good customer service can be hard to find, and Joey has definitely made a great impression on us. We’re very happy we chose Oil Guyz for our used commercial oil pickup service at LA Breakfast Casita in Azusa, CA. Thank you, Joey, for making the process so smooth and for taking such good care of us. We look forward to working with Oil Guyz for a long time!”See full review
