Used Cooking Oil Pickup

Schedule a Used Cooking Oil Pickup

Our used cooking oil (UCO) pickup process is designed to be comprehensive and client-focused from start to finish. It begins with a detailed consultation with one of our experienced sales representatives, who will assess your business needs to recommend the ideal storage tank option. This step ensures that the tank we provide is the perfect fit for your operational space and oil volume.

Once the right tank is selected, we craft a customized service agreement that addresses your specific requirements, ensuring complete alignment with your business’s goals. We then collaborate with you to create an installation schedule that fits seamlessly into your operations, minimizing disruption. Our professional installation team arrives to securely install the tank at the agreed time, ensuring everything is set up efficiently and safely.

After installation, you have the flexibility to choose between two scheduling options: we can place your location on a regular pickup schedule based on your oil usage patterns, or you can contact us to arrange collections whenever it’s convenient for you. This allows you full control over your UCO disposal, backed by our reliable and sustainable service. From consultation to installation and regular pickups, we ensure a hassle-free, environmentally responsible solution that meets your needs.

Why is it important to recycle the Used Cooking Oil?

Essential for environmental and regulatory compliance

Recycling used cooking oil (UCO) is essential for both environmental protection and regulatory compliance. Proper disposal reduces greenhouse gas emissions, as UCO left in landfills decomposes anaerobically, producing methane, a potent greenhouse gas that accelerates climate change. By recycling, UCO can be converted into biofuels, such as biodiesel, which have a significantly lower carbon footprint than traditional fossil fuels.

Protecting water systems

It also plays a critical role in protecting water systems. Dumping UCO down drains leads to the formation of “fatbergs” that clog pipes, cause costly sewer backups, and result in environmental hazards like sewage overflows that can contaminate water bodies. Recycling UCO keeps it out of plumbing infrastructure, helping prevent these issues.

Conserves natural resources

Additionally, recycling UCO conserves natural resources. Turning waste oil into biofuel reduces the need for virgin oils, like palm or soybean oil, which are associated with deforestation and biodiversity loss. By using a waste stream to produce fuel, we lessen the strain on vital resources like land and water.

Circular economy

Recycling UCO also advances the principles of the circular economy, turning waste into valuable resources and extending its useful life. In Florida, this is not just environmentally responsible but a regulatory requirement, ensuring compliance with state laws.

What do we do with it?

At Kite Environmental, we process used cooking oil (UCO) in our own state-of-the-art facility, ensuring full control over the entire recycling process. Once the UCO is collected from clients, it is transported to our facility, where it undergoes a thorough filtration and cleaning process to remove any impurities. This refined UCO is then prepared for conversion into valuable resources such as clean energy, which can be used for various industrial applications.
