Used cooking oil collection · Ceres
Keeping Ceres kitchens ready for clean oil pickup
For restaurants, food plants and shared commercial properties in Ceres, 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 Hatch Road, Mitchell Road and the Highway 99 processing corridor: 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
Ceres 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 Stanislaus County.
Indoor cooking oil storage
For Ceres 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 Ceres 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 Ceres 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 Ceres 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 Ceres 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
Plant-side, warehouse and bulk storage work — drums, totes, tanks and tanker loads.
Plant customers use drum and tote programs, grease-waste removal and bulk oil disposal timed to sanitation windows.
Some Ceres facilities need a standing drum program; others call once to clear a warehouse of palletized product. Both are the same job to us, only the equipment changes.
Cooking oils and grease we pick up
Waste grease and Expired, out-of-code and off-spec food-grade oil make up most of what leaves Ceres, alongside the rest of this list.
Commercial kitchen grease service
Clean collection for Ceres fryers, grease bins, fat trays and bulk storage.
Cooking oil in Ceres 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 Ceres 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.
We would rather hear from a Ceres manager early than clean up an overflow later, so on-call collection sits alongside the regular schedule at no scheduling hassle.
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. First conversation
Volume, schedule and access at your Ceres location.
2. Containers delivered
Sized for a food processing and packing plants 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.
Where cooking oil goes after pickup
A recycling route, not a waste haul — with records you can keep.
After it leaves Ceres, the oil is consolidated, cleaned of water and solids, and delivered to authorized recycling and rendering facilities where it becomes feedstock rather than waste.
Many Ceres sites need proof the oil was removed and handled properly. Collection records cover that, and can be kept on paper or digitally.
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 Pickup Manifest Reports for Ceres
A practical paper trail for used cooking oil collected from Ceres food businesses.
When The Grease Co collects used cooking oil in Ceres, 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, Ceres service address, oil type, amount removed, hauling information and receiving-facility details. That information helps food processing and packing plants 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.
Details recorded after a Ceres pickup
- Gallons or pounds removed from the food processing and packing plants
- Hauling, delivery and recycling documentation
- Records for Ceres facility files and inspection requests

What local operators ask us
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 Hatch Road, Mitchell Road and the Highway 99 processing corridor. 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. Ceres is on recurring routes, so changes are usually easy.
What cooking oil containers do you provide?
Indoor caddies, sealed outdoor bins, drums and totes — chosen after we know your Ceres volume and where a truck can reach.
How is a pickup planned around the service area?
We review container volume, truck access and pickup windows around Hatch Road, Mitchell Road and the Highway 99 processing corridor, then set a route schedule that fits the location.
Can businesses keep digital cooking oil pickup records?
Yes. The Grease Co can provide written or digital collection records so a Ceres operator can organize service history, quantities and hauling details in the format that works for its files.
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 Ceres, your property manager and the authority responsible for your facility.
