Containers sized to your needs
A small restaurant in Cupertino 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.

Keeping Cupertino kitchens ready for clean oil pickup
A missed grease pickup in Cupertino 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 Cupertino locations near the Stevens Creek corridor, Main Street Cupertino and the campus district 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
Cupertino 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 Santa Clara County.
Waste manifest reports
After collection, manifest records can document the Cupertino service address, date, material type, amount removed, hauling details and receiving information for your files.
Indoor cooking oil storage
For Cupertino 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 Cupertino 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 Cupertino 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 Cupertino 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
Most of our Cupertino stops sit around the Stevens Creek corridor, Main Street Cupertino and the campus district, and container sizing follows what those operators actually produce.
- 1Corporate campus cafeterias
- 2Asian restaurants and dessert shops
- 3Grocery hot-food counters
- 4School and library-district kitchens
- 5Hotel and conference dining
Drum, tote and tank service
Plant-side, warehouse and bulk storage work — drums, totes, tanks and tanker loads.
Campus central kitchens generate the bulk volume: tote pump-outs, drum swaps and surplus oil clearance through service corridors.
Production waste oil off a fryer or kettle line, filtration grease, animal fat and food-grade oil past code all leave the Cupertino site sealed, on a schedule your sanitation crew can plan around. Larger volumes are pumped straight from tanks, totes or tankers.
Oils, grease and fats we collect
Used cooking oil (yellow grease) and Palm, canola, soybean and blended frying oils make up most of what leaves Cupertino, alongside the rest of this list.
Restaurant cooking oil pickup
Clean collection for Cupertino fryers, grease bins, fat trays and bulk storage.
In Cupertino 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 Cupertino 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.
If your Cupertino 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.
Clean grease pickups
Pumped, not poured — the container is emptied, lids reset and the service area wiped down before the truck leaves.
Storage set up for the site
Caddies, bins, drums or totes chosen for your volume and placed where your access allows.
Disposal of off-spec oil
Expired and off-spec food-grade oil removed in packaged, drum, tote or tanker form with records of the removal.
How collection service works
1. Call or request a pickup
Give us the Cupertino address, oil volume and container setup. We confirm route timing.
2. Container placement
Sealed indoor or outdoor containers sized to your corporate campus cafeterias operation.
3. Scheduled collection
Drivers pump the oil and grease out, then clean the area.
4. Recycling and payment
Oil is recycled with documentation. We pay for grease and cooking oil — call for details.
Used cooking oil recycling
Collected, not landfilled — oil leaves your site and becomes renewable fuel feedstock.
Pickup records are available on request — useful for Cupertino operators handling health inspections, franchise audits or corporate sustainability reporting. Ask when service is set up and documentation comes with each stop.
After it leaves Cupertino, the oil is consolidated, cleaned of water and solids, and delivered to authorized recycling and rendering facilities where it becomes feedstock rather than waste.
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 Cupertino
Clear documentation from the service location through hauling and delivery.
Restaurants and food facilities in Cupertino 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 Cupertino 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.
Details recorded after a Cupertino pickup
- Gallons or pounds removed from the corporate campus cafeterias
- Hauling, delivery and recycling documentation
- Records for Cupertino facility files and inspection requests
- Quantities used when reviewing a qualifying rebate or buyback

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 the Stevens Creek corridor, Main Street Cupertino and the campus 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 Cupertino 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 Cupertino volume and where a truck can reach.
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 Cupertino 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 Cupertino account and how they are delivered.
How do I check local oil-storage requirements?
Start with the City of Cupertino 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.

Reviews from operators we service
Verbatim 5-star Google reviews of The Grease Company — 4.9 average across 65 reviews — from restaurant and facility operators like those we serve in Cupertino.
“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.”
