From the team

We started The Grease Cycle because too many kitchens are stuck with vendors that treat pickups as an afterthought. Missed collections. No callbacks. Containers that leak all over the parking lot.

This is the service we'd want if we ran the restaurant.

Reliability isn't a feature. It's the whole point.

The Grease Cycle

Everything a kitchen needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Six things we get right, every single pickup. That's the whole promise.

i.

Scheduled pickups that never move.

Weekly, biweekly, or monthly service tailored to your kitchen's volume. You'll know the day and roughly the hour, and we'll be there. If we're not, we call before you have to.

ii.

Same-day when it counts.

Bin full at 10am on a Saturday? Text. We'll be there before your lunch rush ends.

iii.

Free sealed containers.

Steel bins that don't leak. Delivered, installed, cleaned, and swapped. Always included. Never rented.

iv.

Compliance, handled.

Signed manifests after every visit, filed and dated and ready when the inspector walks in. Never scramble again.

v.

Cash back for higher volume.

Bigger kitchens earn rebates on collected oil. Market-tied rates, paid monthly, no games.

vi.

Your oil becomes fuel.

Every gallon we collect gets refined into biodiesel or renewable diesel. Real reduction, not marketing copy.

Four steps. Two minutes to start.

From your first message to your first pickup, we keep it simple.

Common questions.

Is your service really free?
Yes. Standard scheduled service (container, pickups, and cleaning) is completely free. High-volume operators can also earn cash rebates on the oil we collect. Ask when you sign up.
How often will you pick up?
Whatever cadence fits your kitchen. Most operators are on weekly or biweekly service, but we support anything from daily to monthly. If your bin fills early, request an on-demand pickup any time.
Do you supply the container?
Yes. We deliver, install, and maintain a sealed steel collection container at no cost. Swaps and cleaning are always included.
What documentation do you provide?
Every pickup includes a signed manifest and receipt for your records. Everything you need for health department inspections, EPA compliance, and internal audits.
What happens to the oil after you pick it up?
It's refined and sold to renewable fuel producers. Your used cooking oil becomes biodiesel and renewable diesel, replacing petroleum and diverting waste from landfills and sewers.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. We don't lock you in. Our service earns your business every pickup, and you can leave anytime without penalty.
What if I already have a vendor?
Many kitchens switch to us for better service or higher rebates. We'll coordinate the transition with your current provider so you don't miss a single pickup.
