Containers sized to your needs
A small restaurant in Ojai 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.

A cleaner path for Ojai cooking oil, fryer grease and fats
A missed grease pickup in Ojai 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 Ojai locations near Ojai Avenue, the Arcade district and the East End inns 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
Before a Ojai business checks price, it needs to know the pickup will be clean, documented and dependable. The Grease Co supports Ventura County routes around Ojai Avenue, the Arcade district and the East End inns with licensed and insured service, a fleet of collection trucks and container options matched to the site.
Waste manifest reports
After collection, manifest records can document the Ojai service address, date, material type, amount removed, hauling details and receiving information for your files.
Indoor cooking oil storage
For Ojai 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 Ojai 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 Ojai 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 Ojai 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.

Where local oil volume comes from
A short list of the Ojai operators we collect fryer oil, grease and fats from.
- 1Inn and resort kitchens
- 2Farm-to-table restaurants and cafes
- 3Wellness retreat and camp kitchens
- 4Bakeries and juice bars
- 5Event and wedding catering
Drum, tote and tank service
Plant-side, warehouse and bulk storage work — drums, totes, tanks and tanker loads.
Bulk work is limited to resort and retreat central kitchens: tote pump-outs, drum service and surplus oil removal scheduled around guest hours.
Some Ojai 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.
Oils, grease and fats we collect
Used cooking oil (yellow grease) and Fryer oil and fryer grease lead the volume here, but we take the full range below.
Fryer oil and grease pickup
Regular pickups for Ojai kitchens, plus on-call stops when volume spikes.
In Ojai 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 Ojai 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.
Busy stretches in Ojai fill containers faster than a fixed calendar expects. Tell us when yours are coming and the frequency changes with them; extra pickups can be called in any time.
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.
Starting cooking oil service
1. First conversation
Volume, schedule and access at your Ojai location.
2. Containers delivered
Sized for a inn and resort kitchens 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
Every gallon is processed for recovery rather than thrown away.
Pickup records are available on request — useful for Ojai 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 Ojai, 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 Ojai
Clear documentation from the service location through hauling and delivery.
Restaurants and food facilities in Ojai 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 Ojai 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.

Questions about oil and grease 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 Ojai Avenue, the Arcade district and the East End inns. 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 Ojai 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 Ojai volume and where a truck can reach.
What should I provide when requesting oil collection?
Share the Ojai service address, estimated gallons, oil type, current container and truck-access details, especially for locations around Ojai Avenue, the Arcade district and the East End inns. That lets us evaluate equipment and route timing.
What does a used cooking oil manifest record?
The service record identifies the Ojai location, collection date, material, amount removed, transporter and receiving information. Written or digital copies can support internal records and inspection requests.
Are cooking oil pickup permits included with service?
Collection service and local permits are separate. If a permit or property approval applies, the Ojai business or property representative should verify it with the appropriate local authority before container placement.
