Indoor cooking oil storage
For Lodi 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.

Keeping Lodi kitchens ready for clean oil pickup
When a foodservice establishment in Lodi 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 Lodi restaurants, commercial kitchens, food manufacturers, malls, stadiums and other foodservice facilities near Downtown School Street, Kettleman Lane and the winery and processing district. With flexible scheduling and properly sized storage containers, we help keep collection areas clean, organized and ready for service.
Why operators choose The Grease Co
Lodi 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 San Joaquin County.
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 Lodi 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.
Waste manifest reports
After collection, manifest records can document the Lodi 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.

3. Pump, collect and document
On service day, the driver collects the oil, resets the container area and records the pickup details for the Lodi 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 Lodi 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.

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

Industrial waste oil and grease removal
Production waste oil, filtration grease, animal fat and out-of-code product, pumped or palletized out.
Processors and wineries with food operations use tote pump-outs, drum service and bulk oil disposal coordinated with crush and production schedules.
Production waste oil off a fryer or kettle line, filtration grease, animal fat and food-grade oil past code all leave the Lodi site sealed, on a schedule your sanitation crew can plan around. Larger volumes are pumped straight from tanks, totes or tankers.
Food-grade oils and fats accepted
Used cooking oil (yellow grease) and Waste grease make up most of what leaves Lodi, alongside the rest of this list.
Kitchen oil collection and disposal
Clean collection for Lodi fryers, grease bins, fat trays and bulk storage.
Fryer lines in Lodi 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 Lodi 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.
Volume rarely stays flat. When a Lodi kitchen gets busier than its schedule allows for, we add a stop rather than let the container sit full for another week.
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.
From first call to first pickup
1. First conversation
Volume, schedule and access at your Lodi location.
2. Containers delivered

Oil recycling and pickup records
A recycling route, not a waste haul — with records you can keep.
Many Lodi 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 Lodi is filtered, dewatered and routed to approved recycling and rendering partners — the reason qualifying oil can earn payment instead of a disposal charge.
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.

Cooking Oil Manifest Form in Lodi
Collection details organized for Lodi 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 Lodi, 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 School Street, Kettleman Lane and the winery and processing district, 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.

What local operators ask us
Do you pay for used cooking oil?
We do buy used cooking oil. What it earns comes down to how much you produce, how clean it is and how easily we can reach the container — call 888-697-8910 and we will walk through it.
Where do your local routes run?
Around Downtown School Street, Kettleman Lane and the winery and processing district. 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 Lodi kitchens are weekly, some quarterly. On-call stops fill the gaps.
What cooking oil containers do you provide?
Indoor caddies, sealed outdoor bins, drums and totes — chosen after we know your Lodi volume and where a truck can reach.
What should I provide when requesting oil collection?
Share the Lodi service address, estimated gallons, oil type, current container and truck-access details, especially for locations around Downtown School Street, Kettleman Lane and the winery and processing district. That lets us evaluate equipment and route timing.
What does a used cooking oil manifest record?
The service record identifies the Lodi location, collection date, material, amount removed, transporter and receiving information. Written or digital copies can support internal records and inspection requests.
Does my business need a permit for used cooking oil storage?
Requirements can depend on the property, container placement and local fire, health, sewer or zoning rules. We do not issue permits; confirm site-specific requirements with the City of Lodi, your property manager and the authority responsible for your facility.

“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.”
