Used Cooking Oil Pickup and Disposal for Tustin Restaurants

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.

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.
