Due to a variety of environmental concerns, you cannot simply pour leftover cooking oil down the drain or throw it away with the rest of your waste. As a result, you must store it correctly and ensure that it is collected by a licensed collector.

Cooking and disposing of vegetable oil can be a messy process. If your company or business generates waste cooking oil, you must store it correctly in sealed containers, ensure that none spills, and have it collected by a qualified waste carrier who will transport it to an authorised facility for recovery or disposal.

It is important to dispose of waste oil properly. Tipping it down the drain causes foul odours, obstructions, vermin problems, and contaminated waterways, all of which can have an impact on the local ecosystem. Throwing it away can cause odours and pollutants in the land and water, and your general waste contractor is likely to refuse to remove it. If you choose to dispose of it inappropriately, you risk being prosecuted, therefore it's essential to choose a reputable cooking and vegetable oil collection service like Any London Waste.

We can supply you with a reliable and fast used cooking oil collection service regardless of the size of your company. From London's leading restaurant and hotel companies to individual restaurants and fast-food shops, we service them all. Hospitals, schools, universities, prisons, and corporations with canteens are among the places where we collect.

We can provide reliable and quick collections with a variety of frequencies thanks to our extensive nationwide network of local depots. We can collect used cooking oils and fats weekly, fortnightly, monthly, bi-monthly, or on demand, depending on the volume of used cooking oils and fats your business produces.

Our cooking oil collection is orderly and simple. A breakdown is given below:

  • We come with a grease container for all your waste cooking oil
  • Our service is automatically scheduled based on the size of your tank and the amount of cooking oil you've used.
  • The service is contactless waste oil removal. Employee engagement is minimal since in-house professionals retrieve oil without entering the facility.
  • Locally, at one of our bio-secure processing sites, the material is recycled.
  • The vast majority of waste cooking oil is recycled and used to make clean-burning biofuels.

Our cooking oil recycling method is easy to use, quick to complete, and results in a high-quality, environmentally responsible final product. We'll come to your business and collect your used oil waste at a time that's convenient for you, then make sure it's stored correctly in bulk containers before sending it to a waste vegetable oil recycling specialist.

Your used cooking oil is then transformed into bio-diesel, an organic, carbon-neutral, and less expensive alternative to fossil-fuel diesel.

This will benefit you in many ways. First, our ethical practices provide a solution to one of your more challenging corporate recycling concerns, as well as a boost to your brand's sustainability.

With our reliable and diligent used cooking oil collection, you won't make any mistakes. Call us to request a free quote today to learn how we can help you save time and money.

Used cooking oil should not be dumped down sinks since they can clog them up. Cooking oil, fats, and plate scrapings of fatty meals can all be given to your food waste recycling service in small amounts. If you don't have access to a food waste recycling service, leave it in a sealed container in the regular trash for your local council waste management to dispose of it.

All vegetable cooking oils, as well as some animal fats like beef drippings, are collected. We can't process the fat from beneath the floor grease traps yet, but it can be collected with food waste and used to generate renewable gas, heat, and power because of its high energy content.

Engine, lane, or mineral oil will not be accepted. If you have motor oil to dispose of, contact your local council or a local automotive retailer to see if drop-off locations are available. Many councils hold hazardous waste pickup days regularly. Keep your old engine oil in a safe place and bring it to those occasions.

Our waste cooking oil disposal service stands out from others. We are professional and timely in our service delivery. Choosing Any London Waste comes with many benefits. You can contact us at +448085062410.
