Used cooking oil collection · SoMa
Used cooking oil service built around SoMa operations
For restaurants, food plants and shared commercial properties in SoMa, used cooking oil collection is part of daily operations. The right service keeps fryer oil, grease, tallow, shortening and expired food-grade oil from disrupting the kitchen or loading area.
Containers that are too small, placed poorly or serviced late can lead to overflow, odors, stains, safety hazards and avoidable complaints. Oil quality can also suffer when water, food solids or other contamination enters the storage container.
The Grease Co provides practical collection support around Folsom Street, the ballpark area, Mission Bay and the Yerba Buena blocks: containers sized to the account, route planning, pickup documentation and recycling-focused handling for eligible food-grade oil products.
Local oil collection backed by real service capacity
The right cooking oil collection setup starts with volume, access and safety. For SoMa locations near Folsom Street, the ballpark area, Mission Bay and the Yerba Buena blocks, The Grease Co pairs indoor storage, outdoor storage and documented grease pickup with practical route coverage across San Francisco County.
Indoor cooking oil storage
For SoMa 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.
Containers sized to your needs
A small restaurant in SoMa 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.
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.

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 SoMa account.
4. Recycle and evaluate value
Oil is routed for recycling. Any rebate or buyback depends on verified volume, quality, contamination and pickup requirements.
1. Review your oil volume
We look at how much used cooking oil or grease waste your SoMa location produces each month, then match the route and container to that volume.

Cooking Oil Price Calculator (Estimate)
Restaurants, commercial kitchens and food manufacturers in SoMa 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.

Who we collect cooking oil from
These are the operations that generate the most oil locally, so we size and schedule around them first.
- 1Office-building and food-hall kitchens
- 2Ballpark and event concessions
- 3Hotel and convention catering
- 4Corporate cafeterias
- 5Bars and brewpubs
Drum, tote and tank service
Plant-side, warehouse and bulk storage work — drums, totes, tanks and tanker loads.
Bulk work is building commissaries and event kitchens: tote pump-outs, drum service and post-event surplus oil removal.
We work the way the plant works: material staged during sanitation, containers swapped or pumped, dock cleared before the next shift. In SoMa that usually means an early or late window rather than mid-production.
Food-grade oils and fats accepted
Fryer oil and fryer grease and Used cooking oil (yellow grease) make up most of what leaves SoMa, alongside the rest of this list.
Fryer oil and grease pickup
Regular pickups for SoMa kitchens, plus on-call stops when volume spikes.
Cooking oil in SoMa loses value fast when water, cleaner or food solids get into the container. Keeping it clean and dry is the single biggest thing that affects what we can pay you.
Pouring used oil down a SoMa drain hardens in the line and can turn into a plumbing bill and an inspection note in the same week. Scheduled grease pick up removes the material before that happens.
If your SoMa 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.
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.
Starting cooking oil service
1. Tell us the setup
Location in SoMa, gallons per week and how a truck reaches the container.
2. Equipment on site
Caddies, bins, drums or totes matched to a office-building and food-hall kitchens volume.
3. Route day
We pump out, wipe down the service area and log the pickup.
4. Records and value
Collection records on request; qualifying oil is paid on volume and quality.
Recycling instead of disposal
Filtered, dewatered and moved to approved recycling and rendering partners.
Cooking oil collected in SoMa is filtered, dewatered and routed to approved recycling and rendering partners — the reason qualifying oil can earn payment instead of a disposal charge.
Many SoMa sites need proof the oil was removed and handled properly. Collection records cover that, and can be kept on paper or digitally.
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.

Cooking Oil Pickup Manifest Reports for SoMa
A practical paper trail for used cooking oil collected from SoMa food businesses.
When The Grease Co collects used cooking oil in SoMa, a written or digital manifest report can accompany the service record. It documents the collection, hauling and receipt steps used in California's inedible-kitchen-grease manifest system.
The form captures the date and time, SoMa service address, oil type, amount removed, hauling information and receiving-facility details. That information helps office-building and food-hall kitchens teams reconcile a pickup with the material that left their container.
Keep the manifest with service and inventory records for future requests from inspectors, health departments, property managers or other authorities. If the material may qualify for a rebate or buyback, its documented quantity supports evaluation; payment is determined only after volume, quality and condition are reviewed.
What the cooking oil manifest tracks
- Hauling, delivery and recycling documentation
- Records for SoMa facility files and inspection requests
- Quantities used when reviewing a qualifying rebate or buyback
- Pickup dates and used cooking oil service history for SoMa
- Gallons or pounds removed from the office-building and food-hall kitchens
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 Folsom Street, the ballpark area, Mission Bay and the Yerba Buena blocks. If you are outside those areas we can usually still add the stop.
How often can you collect?
You pick the interval and we adjust it once we see real volume. SoMa is on recurring routes, so changes are usually easy.
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 SoMa sites with documentation.
Where should a cooking oil container sit on the property?
Placement should work for kitchen staff, remain accessible to the collection truck and follow property and local requirements. We review the SoMa site's access before recommending a container position.
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 SoMa account and how they are delivered.
Who confirms local cooking oil container rules?
The City of SoMa, 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.
