Grease pickup and recycling · San Francisco
When a foodservice establishment in San Francisco is busy, waste cooking oil cannot sit in the wrong place or wait for a missed pickup to be fixed. Fryer oil, grease, expired food-grade oils and other eligible oil products need a dependable collection plan that matches the way the location operates.
Overflowing containers, stored waste oil and spills can create fire risks, safety hazards, odors and avoidable compliance concerns. In some cases, poor oil handling can lead to cleanup costs, enforcement attention or interruptions to kitchen operations.
The Grease Co provides used cooking oil collection for San Francisco restaurants, commercial kitchens, food manufacturers, malls, stadiums and other foodservice facilities near Downtown and Union Square, the Financial District, the Mission and Bayview. With flexible scheduling and properly sized storage containers, we help keep collection areas clean, organized and ready for service.
The right cooking oil collection setup starts with volume, access and safety. For San Francisco locations near Downtown and Union Square, the Financial District, the Mission and Bayview, The Grease Co pairs indoor storage, outdoor storage and documented grease pickup with practical route coverage across San Francisco County.
For San Francisco 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 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.
A small restaurant in San Francisco 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.
After collection, manifest records can document the San Francisco service address, date, material type, amount removed, hauling details and receiving information for your files.
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.

We look at how much used cooking oil or grease waste your San Francisco location produces each month, then match the route and container to that volume.
Indoor caddies, outdoor bins, drums, totes or tanks are selected around kitchen workflow, truck access, safety and spill containment.
Current value estimate · No obligation
Restaurants, commercial kitchens and food manufacturers in San Francisco 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.

A short list of the San Francisco operators we collect fryer oil, grease and fats from.
Bulk removal that works around sanitation windows, dock access and production runs.
Bayview and the southeast industrial belt supply the bulk side: commissary tote pump-outs, drum programs, grease-laden production waste and removal of expired food-grade oil with documentation.
Whether it is kettle-line waste oil, filter media grease, rendered fat or product that never made spec, the load is documented and removed from San Francisco in sealed containers — never dumped into a compactor or drain.
Locally we see mostly Used cooking oil (yellow grease) and Fryer oil and fryer grease; everything else below is collected too.
Clean collection for San Francisco fryers, grease bins, fat trays and bulk storage.
Fryer lines in San Francisco run on different clocks — some kitchens change oil nightly, others weekly — so we size the container to your gallons instead of dropping a standard bin and hoping it fits.
Cooking oil disposal in San Francisco is not a dumpster job. Oil in a trash compactor leaks, attracts pests and creates a liability; in a sealed container it is a recyclable commodity instead.
If your San Francisco volume swings with the season — patio months, holidays, event weekends or production runs — say so and we adjust the route instead of leaving you with an overflowing bin. On-call pickup is available between scheduled stops.
Liquid fryer oil, semi-solid grease, filter waste and fat-tray grease pumped or scooped out cleanly, with the area wiped down before we leave.
Expired, out-of-code, off-spec and surplus food-grade oil removed by the case, pallet, drum, tote or tanker load with pickup documentation.
Indoor caddies, sealed outdoor bins, drums and totes sized to your kitchen or plant and placed where your access allows.
Volume, schedule and access at your San Francisco location.
Sized for a downtown and hotel restaurants site and placed where your crew can reach them.
Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or on-call between stops.
Oil moves to approved recyclers; records come with the stop.
Collected, not landfilled — oil leaves your site and becomes renewable fuel feedstock.
Many San Francisco sites need proof the oil was removed and handled properly. Collection records cover that, and can be kept on paper or digitally.
Cooking oil collected in San Francisco is filtered, dewatered and routed to approved recycling and rendering partners — the reason qualifying oil can earn payment instead of a disposal charge.
Condition matters as much as volume. Contaminated oil is still collected, but clean, dry oil is what holds value — so container placement and lid discipline are worth the few minutes.

Collection details organized for San Francisco facility files, service reviews and inspection requests.
California's inedible-kitchen-grease manifest system creates a record when used cooking oil is collected, transported and received. After service in San Francisco, The Grease Co can provide the facility with a written or digital manifest report for organized recordkeeping.
Recorded fields include pickup date and time, location, material type, quantity, transporter information and receiving-facility details. For operations around Downtown and Union Square, the Financial District, the Mission and Bayview, those details create a traceable service history without relying on handwritten internal notes alone.
These records can support internal reconciliation and requests from local officials or property management. They may also document volume for a potential oil-value review. A rebate or buyback is not guaranteed and depends on the collected material, contamination, quantity and access.

Around Downtown and Union Square, the Financial District, the Mission and Bayview. If you are outside those areas we can usually still add the stop.
You pick the interval and we adjust it once we see real volume. San Francisco is on recurring routes, so changes are usually easy.
Indoor caddies, sealed outdoor bins, drums and totes — chosen after we know your San Francisco volume and where a truck can reach.
Placement should work for kitchen staff, remain accessible to the collection truck and follow property and local requirements. We review the San Francisco site's access before recommending a container position.
The service record identifies the San Francisco location, collection date, material, amount removed, transporter and receiving information. Written or digital copies can support internal records and inspection requests.
Start with the City of San Francisco and your property manager because requirements vary by address and container location. Depending on the site, a health, fire, sewer or zoning office may also need to confirm the rules.
