How to Make Money With UCO and Used Cooking Oil
What UCO is
Used cooking oil, or UCO, is the fryer oil a kitchen sets aside. Collected and sold, that oil is yellow grease. Buyers take it for biofuel and for other products. A kitchen that stores it cleanly can stop paying to throw it away, and an eligible kitchen can be paid for it.
Keep the oil in a container
Drain used fryer oil into a collection container and keep it out of the sink and the grease trap. GREASE.ORG provides a free collection container and a lock. The pickup schedule follows the volume the kitchen produces, and the container is emptied when it is full.
Collection is free
Recycling and collection with GREASE.ORG are free. Eligible businesses can be paid for their used cooking oil. Oil kept out of the drain is oil that does not damage plumbing or draw a state or local fine.
What the oil becomes
Collected used cooking oil is sold as yellow grease, a feedstock for biodiesel and renewable fuel.
How to start
Sign up for cooking oil recycling and set the collection schedule. GREASE.ORG collects used cooking oil on the North, South, West, and East Coasts.
