  • What is used cooking oil pickup and how does it work?

    Used cooking oil pickup is a service where businesses or individuals can schedule a pickup of their used cooking oil disposal. This oil is collected for proper disposal, recycling, or repurposing.

  • Why should I recycle used cooking oil instead of throwing it away?

    Utilizing recycling for your cooking oil disposal helps reduce environmental pollution, prevents clogging of drains, and provides the opportunity to repurpose the oil into biodiesel or other useful products, contributing to sustainability efforts — especially important when just one liter of used cooking oil can pollute up to one million liters of water, according to Be The Story.

  • How do I schedule a pickup for my used cooking oil?

    You can schedule a pickup by contacting us via phone, email, or our online platform. You can set up regular or one-time pickups based on your cooking oil disposal needs.

  • Do I need to clean or filter the oil before pickup?

    It's not necessary to filter the cooking oil disposal, but removing large food particles or debris is recommended to ensure the oil can be processed efficiently during recycling.

  • Is there a minimum or maximum amount of oil required for pickup?

    There is no minimum amount required, and we tailor the frequency of pickups based on the individual used cooking oil disposal needs of each customer.

  • What happens to the used cooking oil after it's picked up?

    After pickup, the cooking oil tank is transported to our recycling facility, where it can be turned into Ecokut or used for other eco-friendly purposes.

  • Are there any fees for the used cooking oil pickup service?

    At Planet Fry, we don't charge any fees for customers. Pickups of your cooking oil disposal are free of charge and guaranteed to come with our quality service and fantastic staff.

  • Can I dispose of other types of waste oils with this service?

    Our service typically focuses on used cooking oil disposal, but we may accept other types of oils depending on the circumstances. Please reach out to discuss specific requirements.
