Quick Answer
Oil Guyz provides free used cooking oil pickup, recycling and disposal for Newport Beach restaurants and hotels, from the harbor dining of Lido Marina Village, Cannery Village, Balboa Village and Balboa Island to Mariners' Mile, Corona del Mar, Fashion Island, Newport Center and Newport Coast. Each kitchen gets a free locked bin, a set pickup day and a CDFA-compliant digital manifest that is ready for the City of Newport Beach Utilities Department's FOG inspector. No fee, no contract, no minimum. Call (714) 880-4788.
Free Fryer Oil Pickup Along the Harbor, From Lido Village to Fashion Island
A harbor-front dining room on the Peninsula, a hotel kitchen near Fashion Island and a village restaurant on Coast Highway in Corona del Mar all fry at different paces, and many of them share an alley or have no back pad at all. Whatever the size, each wants the oil out of the building without a mess, and proof of where it went.
Oil Guyz picks up used cooking oil free from Newport Beach restaurants and hotels, with no contract and no minimum. Restaurants get a locked bin sized to the kitchen, or a compact locked caddy where space is tight, and hotels get one account for every outlet. The bin is pumped in place, a CDFA-compliant digital manifest is emailed after every visit, and the oil is recycled into renewable diesel and biodiesel.
Call (714) 880-4788 or send the form on this page with the restaurant or hotel address. A person calls back the same business day to set the bin and the pickup day, and the first pickup follows in 3 to 5 business days.
How Free Used Cooking Oil Disposal Works for Newport Beach Restaurants and Hotels
Dining in Newport Beach clusters around the harbor. The city's General Plan describes the Balboa Peninsula as a string of districts along the Newport Boulevard and Balboa Boulevard corridor: Lido Village, Cannery Village, McFadden Square around the Newport Pier, and Balboa Village. Those blocks hold restaurants, bars and beach hotels, and the same plan notes that the older neighborhoods around them sit on small lots with alleyways and limited parking. That shapes where used cooking oil waits for pickup. Oil Guyz settles the bin spot with the owner before the first visit: a locked bin in the alley where there is room, or a compact locked caddy by the fryer line where there is not, pumped in place either way.
Hotels fall into pockets. The same plan places hotels around Newport Center and Fashion Island, in the Airport Area near John Wayne Airport and among the beach hotels of the Peninsula. A hotel kitchen is rarely one fryer: the restaurant, the pool grill, banquet service and the staff dining room each fill their own. Oil Guyz puts every outlet on one free account, and the first visit is arranged with the chef and engineering so the bin sits at the dock and the stop stays out of guest areas.
The villages have their own rhythm. Corona del Mar's shops and restaurants front directly on the sidewalk of Coast Highway, with few driveways between them, so used cooking oil leaves through the rear door. Mariners' Mile runs along the bay from the Arches Bridge to Dover Drive, and Marine Avenue is the main street of Balboa Island, across the channel from the Peninsula. The Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade runs December 16 to 20 in 2026, and waterfront restaurants are among its viewing spots, so a kitchen there can call ahead for an added pickup or a larger bin. Every pickup of used cooking oil ends the same way: the oil is recycled into renewable diesel and biodiesel.

What Newport Beach Asks of Kitchens, and How Free Pickup Covers It
The City of Newport Beach Utilities Department runs the grease program for restaurants and hotel kitchens, and the city's FOG inspector looks at each kitchen's records. For used cooking oil, three habits matter: nothing goes in a sink or floor drain, the oil waits in a closed container, and each pickup gets logged. The city's FOG binder carries a waste cooking oil collection log that expects the pickup receipt attached. The free Oil Guyz bin locks shut, and the CDFA-compliant digital manifest emailed after every visit is that dated receipt, with two years of copies on file. Pumping a grease interceptor is a different job that the kitchen books on its own.
What Your Newport Beach Restaurant or Commercial Kitchen Gets
- No charge for the pickup, the locked bin or the manifests, and no contract or minimum gallons
- A single account for each hotel property, covering the restaurant, pool grill, banquet service and staff dining room
- Compact locked caddies for Peninsula and Lido kitchens with no rear pad, pumped in place
- A kitchen can ask for an early-day stop where a village street or a shared alley fills up later
- An added pickup or a larger bin for Christmas Boat Parade week and summer weekends
- A CDFA-compliant manifest by email after each visit, with two years of copies kept for the city's FOG inspector

“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
Newport Beach Used Cooking Oil Pickup FAQ
Where Newport Beach Kitchens Can Read the Rules
The City of Newport Beach Utilities Department runs the city's grease program for restaurants and hotels. Its Fats, Oils and Grease Inspection Program page holds the permit guide, the kitchen training materials and the waste cooking oil collection log, and it names the Utilities Superintendent as the contact for questions about the program.
The collection log asks a kitchen to note each oil pickup and keep the receipt with it. Oil Guyz covers that part: the manifest emailed after every visit is the receipt, and the kitchen keeps it with the city's log so the record is ready whenever an inspector asks to see it.
