Oil Guyz runs free used cooking oil pickup and disposal for Tustin restaurants from its headquarters on Irvine Boulevard in Tustin. The route covers Old Town Tustin on Main Street and El Camino Real, The District and FLIGHT at Tustin Legacy, The Market Place on Jamboree Road, and the Newport Avenue, Red Hill Avenue and 17th Street corridors. Each kitchen gets a locked bin, a set pickup day and a CDFA-compliant digital manifest for the EOCWD or IRWD FOG inspector. No fee, no contract, no minimum. Call (714) 880-4788.
Used Cooking Oil Pickup in Tustin, From the Company Headquartered Here
Tustin kitchens split into two problems. Old Town storefronts on Main Street and El Camino Real sit in buildings from the 1880s that share one alley, so an open grease drum by the back door is a spill, a smell and a neighbor complaint waiting to happen. New kitchens at The District and FLIGHT at Tustin Legacy have proper docks but open faster than most haulers update a route, and the first IRWD FOG inspection arrives soon after the doors do.
Oil Guyz picks up used cooking oil in Tustin for free, and Tustin is where Oil Guyz is headquartered, on Irvine Boulevard. Every kitchen gets a locked container sized to its space, a compact caddy for an Old Town alley or a standard bin for a Tustin Legacy service area, pumped in place on a set day. A CDFA-compliant digital manifest lands in your inbox after each pickup, kept two years to match the IRWD record window, and the oil goes to a licensed renderer to become renewable diesel and biodiesel. No contract, no fee, no minimum.
Request pickup for your Tustin kitchen with the form on this page, whether you fry on Newport Avenue, Red Hill Avenue, 17th Street or in Tustin Ranch. A real person calls you back the same business day to confirm the container size and where it sits, and most Tustin kitchens are on the route within the week.
Fryer Oil in Tustin, From 1880s Storefronts to Brand-New Docks
Oil Guyz is headquartered in Tustin, at 17662 Irvine Boulevard, and Tustin is the city where the Oil Guyz route began. Old Town Tustin is the hardest part of that route. The City of Tustin describes Old Town as a group of historic buildings on Main Street and El Camino Real that date back to the 1880s, and Main Street itself runs only from Williams Street to just past Newport Avenue. Restaurants in those storefronts share a single alley, have little or no rear yard, and cannot leave an open drum where diners walking between the antique shops and the cafes can see it, so Oil Guyz fits them with a compact locked caddy and an early pickup.
Tustin Legacy gives Oil Guyz the opposite problem: brand-new kitchens with proper docks that open faster than most route sheets update. The City of Tustin's Tustin Legacy FAQ puts the former Marine Corps Air Station at roughly 1,600 acres, about 1,000 developed, with 4,258 homes built of more than 9,000 planned and about 2 million square feet of non-residential space finished out of 9.5 million. The District at Tustin Legacy, a one-million-square-foot center at Barranca Parkway and Jamboree Road that opened in 2007, holds Union Market Tustin and the sit-down rows near Whole Foods, and FLIGHT on Barranca Parkway adds the 12,000-square-foot Mess Hall Market food hall. Oil Guyz places a locked bin per kitchen in each property's service area.
Oil Guyz fills the rest of the Tustin route with the everyday corridors. The Market Place, opened in 1988 along Jamboree Road at Interstate 5 and split between Tustin and Irvine, holds about 140 tenants and a ring of chain dining rooms with shared loading areas. Tustin Ranch kitchens, the Tustin Heights center at Irvine Boulevard and Newport Avenue, the Red Hill Avenue strip centers, and the Enderle Center blocks of 17th Street east of the 55 all run on a fixed weekday. During Tustin Tiller Days, held the first weekend of October at Columbus Tustin Park since 1957, Oil Guyz adds stops for Old Town kitchens feeding the parade crowd. One number, (714) 880-4788, handles every change.

Tustin Restaurant FOG Permits, Two Sewer Districts, and Used Cooking Oil Disposal Records
Tustin restaurants answer to two sewer districts and one health agency. The City of Tustin's sewer page states that sewer maintenance in Tustin is provided by the East Orange County Water District and the Irvine Ranch Water District, and each runs its own FOG Control Program under the framework OC San sets in Ordinance OCSD-25. IRWD's FOG permit conditions require a food service establishment to keep FOG records for at least two years, to store waste cooking oil in recycling receptacles that do not leak or attract vermin, and to use licensed waste haulers or an approved recycling facility. EOCWD Ordinance 2016-2, amended in 2019, prohibits waste cooking oil in drainage pipes and lets its inspector review manifests, receipts and invoices on site; as of September 2026 its FOG permit costs $206 for two years. The Orange County Health Care Agency permits the kitchen itself. Oil Guyz satisfies all three with a locked bin and a CDFA-compliant digital manifest per pickup, kept two years.
What Your Tustin Restaurant or Commercial Kitchen Gets
- Compact locked caddies for Old Town Tustin storefronts on Main Street and El Camino Real that share one alley
- Bins placed in the designated service areas at The District, Union Market and FLIGHT at Tustin Legacy, cleared with property management

- One weekday loop covering The Market Place, Tustin Ranch, Tustin Heights, Red Hill Avenue and the Enderle Center blocks of 17th Street
- CDFA-compliant digital manifest emailed after every pickup and kept two years, matching the IRWD FOG record-keeping window
- Extra Old Town stops the first weekend of October for Tustin Tiller Days, and an Oil Guyz office on Irvine Boulevard minutes from every stop

“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
Tustin Used Cooking Oil Pickup FAQ
Who Enforces Grease Rules for Tustin Kitchens
Tustin is unusual among the Orange County cities Oil Guyz serves because the city itself does not run the FOG program. Sewer maintenance in Tustin is provided by the East Orange County Water District and the Irvine Ranch Water District (City of Tustin, Sewer), so a Tustin kitchen's FOG wastewater discharge permit and inspections come from whichever district owns the pipe under its street. IRWD publishes its FOG permit conditions, kitchen best management practices and waste hauler receipt requirements online, and EOCWD's FOG Ordinance 2016-2 sets the same core rules for the sewers it maintains in Improvement District No. 1.
Oil Guyz fits either Tustin district the same way. The locked bin is the covered recycling receptacle both ordinances describe, and the CDFA-compliant digital manifest after every pickup is the disposal record an EOCWD or IRWD inspector, or the Orange County Health Care Agency, asks to see.
