Restaurant Grease Pickup
What the pickup is
Restaurant grease pickup is the collection of used cooking oil a kitchen has set aside. That oil is fryer oil. It belongs in a container, not in the sink and not in the grease trap.
Yellow grease and trap grease
Collected fryer oil is sold as yellow grease. Buyers use it for biofuel and for other products. Grease pumped from a trap is a different material. It is handled as brown grease, not as used cooking oil.
How a kitchen starts
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. Recycling and collection are free. Eligible businesses can be paid for their used cooking oil.
