Containers sized to your needs
A small restaurant in Davis may only need a caddy or compact bin; a commissary, hotel or food manufacturer may need drums, totes or tank pump-outs. Volume and access decide the equipment.

Reliable used cooking oil collection for Davis foodservice operators
A missed grease pickup in Davis can quickly turn recyclable cooking oil into a service-area headache. Containers fill, oil gets contaminated and staff lose time managing a material that should be removed cleanly and consistently.
The risk is bigger than a messy bin. Spilled or stored oil can create odors, slick surfaces, fire exposure and compliance issues for restaurants, commissaries, hotels, entertainment venues and production kitchens.
The Grease Co helps Davis locations near Downtown Davis, the university campus and the Second Street corridor choose the right storage setup, arrange collection frequency and document the pickup so the oil is handled responsibly after it leaves the site.
Grease pickup with equipment, records and route support
Davis restaurants, hotels, food manufacturers and property managers need more than a bin drop. They need a collection company that can size the container, protect the service area, schedule the truck and provide waste manifest reports after pickup across Sacramento County.
Waste manifest reports
After collection, manifest records can document the Davis service address, date, material type, amount removed, hauling details and receiving information for your files.
Indoor cooking oil storage
For Davis kitchens with limited exterior space, indoor caddies keep fryer oil contained until a scheduled pickup. The setup is chosen around staff workflow, doorway clearance and where oil can be transferred safely.
Outdoor storage with spill tray
Outdoor bins and totes can include spill-tray protection to help contain drips around the collection point. That extra containment helps prevent hazards from spreading if oil spills near a trash enclosure, dock or rear service area.
The Grease Co is a highly rated cooking oil collection and grease pickup company built around licensed and insured service, responsive route coverage, clean service areas and documentation customers can keep for their records.

1. Review your oil volume
We look at how much used cooking oil or grease waste your Davis location produces each month, then match the route and container to that volume.
2. Place the right container
Indoor caddies, outdoor bins, drums, totes or tanks are selected around kitchen workflow, truck access, safety and spill containment.
3. Pump, collect and document
On service day, the driver collects the oil, resets the container area and records the pickup details for the Davis account.
4. Recycle and evaluate value
Oil is routed for recycling. Any rebate or buyback depends on verified volume, quality, contamination and pickup requirements.

Cooking Oil Price Calculator (Estimate)
Restaurants, commercial kitchens and food manufacturers in Davis can use the calculator to estimate the potential value of used fryer oil. The estimate starts with monthly gallons and then helps you compare a possible monthly and annual range.
Actual pricing depends on oil quality, water or food-solid contamination, storage, route access and verified volume. Clean qualifying oil may earn a stronger incentive; expired, off-spec or grease-waste loads are evaluated separately before pickup.

Food plant and warehouse oil waste
From a few drums in a back dock to full tanker pump-outs on a production schedule.
Campus central kitchens and food-science facilities use tote pump-outs, drum service and bulk clearance of surplus or expired oil.
We work the way the plant works: material staged during sanitation, containers swapped or pumped, dock cleared before the next shift. In Davis that usually means an early or late window rather than mid-production.
Food-grade oils and fats accepted
Used cooking oil (yellow grease) and Virgin and surplus bulk oil lead the volume here, but we take the full range below.
Fryer oil and grease pickup
Regular pickups for Davis kitchens, plus on-call stops when volume spikes.
In Davis the hardest part is usually access, not volume: where the container sits, who can reach it, and what hours a truck is allowed in the service area. We plan around that first.
If your Davis site is clearing expired, out-of-code or off-spec product, we remove it by the case, pallet, drum, tote or tanker load and leave you with pickup documentation.
Busy stretches in Davis fill containers faster than a fixed calendar expects. Tell us when yours are coming and the frequency changes with them; extra pickups can be called in any time.
Containers for commercial kitchens
Sealed indoor caddies and lidded outdoor bins, placed where your access allows and swapped before they overflow.
Fryer and grease pickup
Hot-line fryer oil, congealed grease, filter waste and fat trays handled on one stop without leaving a trail through the kitchen.
Bulk and expired oil removal
Out-of-code cases, pallets, drums, totes and tank loads cleared out with removal documentation for your files.
What a grease pickup looks like
1. First conversation
Volume, schedule and access at your Davis location.
2. Containers delivered
Sized for a university dining halls and student unions site and placed where your crew can reach them.
3. Recurring pickups
Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or on-call between stops.
4. Recycling documented
Oil moves to approved recyclers; records come with the stop.
Recycling instead of disposal
Filtered, dewatered and moved to approved recycling and rendering partners.
Cooking oil collected in Davis is filtered, dewatered and routed to approved recycling and rendering partners — the reason qualifying oil can earn payment instead of a disposal charge.
Pickup records are available on request — useful for Davis operators handling health inspections, franchise audits or corporate sustainability reporting. Ask when service is set up and documentation comes with each stop.
Cleaner oil grades higher. Keeping water, cleaning chemicals and food solids out of the container protects both the recycling value and what we can pay. We walk your team through the setup on the first visit.

Used Cooking Oil Manifest Documentation in Davis
Clear documentation from the service location through hauling and delivery.
Restaurants and food facilities in Davis may need to show when used cooking oil left the property and how it was handled. The Grease Co can provide a written or digital collection manifest that follows California's inedible-kitchen-grease recordkeeping process.
Collection date, time, address, oil type, quantity, hauler and receiving-facility information are kept together on the report. The result is a clearer record for busy Davis kitchens and facilities managing recurring oil removal.
The report can be retained with internal files or shared when a health official, inspector, property manager or local authority asks for collection documentation. Recorded quantities may assist with a qualifying rebate or buyback review, but eligibility and value depend on the oil's volume, condition and quality.

Before you schedule a pickup
Do you pay for used cooking oil?
We pay for qualifying cooking oil and grease. There is no flat published rate because condition and volume change the value; call 888-697-8910.
Where do your local routes run?
Around Downtown Davis, the university campus and the Second Street corridor. If you are outside those areas we can usually still add the stop.
How often can you collect?
As often as the volume requires — some Davis kitchens are weekly, some quarterly. On-call stops fill the gaps.
Can you clear expired oil inventory?
Yes — packaged cases, pallets, drums, totes and tank loads of expired, off-spec or surplus food-grade oil are removed from Davis sites with documentation.
How is a pickup planned around the service area?
We review container volume, truck access and pickup windows around Downtown Davis, the university campus and the Second Street corridor, then set a route schedule that fits the location.
Can I request past manifest records?
Ask about record availability when setting up service. We can explain which written or digital collection records are available for your Davis account and how they are delivered.
Who confirms local cooking oil container rules?
The City of Davis, the property owner and the relevant health, fire, sewer or zoning authority can confirm what applies at your address. We can help with container sizing and truck access after those site requirements are known.

“We were preparing for our restaurant's opening the next day and our drains backed up... 8pm, we were a bit desperate. We called one plumber, but his efforts did not go far enough. Our grease trap at the interceptor was blocked solid.”
