Your instant estimate
Three things most grease haulers can't get right.
The national chains treat your oil like an afterthought. We built our operation around the things that actually matter to the kitchens we serve.
Pickups that actually happen.
Missed pickups mean overflowing bins, fined inspectors, and fry stations that shut down. We run tight routes with backup drivers and give every account a direct cell number to the dispatcher handling your pickup.
Industry-leading per-gallon rates.
We pay among the best rates in the business for your used fryer oil. No opaque formulas, no take-it-or-leave-it quotes, no surprise deductions. You get a straight rate, a straight invoice, and ACH on time.
Owned and run locally.
We're not a franchise unit of a multinational renderer. The person who owns this business answers the phone, signs off on your payout, and drives past your restaurant on the way home. That's the deal.
Four steps. Straightforward setup.

We install equipment
We provide and install your collection container at no cost. Indoor, outdoor, corralled, sealed — we fit what your kitchen needs.
Scheduled pickups

We handle collection end-to-end: equipment, scheduling, pickup, compliance paperwork, and payment. Your kitchen keeps cooking. We keep showing up.
Per-gallon UCO purchase
We buy your used fryer oil at industry-leading per-gallon rates. You get a transparent monthly invoice showing gallons collected and your payout — no surprises, no deductions, no fine print.
- Industry-leading rates
- Monthly ACH payout
- No deductions, no "processing fees"
- Rate reviewed & shared each quarter
Free equipment & install
Standard collection containers — indoor caddies, outdoor corralled tanks, or fully sealed theft-proof units — provided and installed at no charge. We'll pick what fits your space and local code.
- Indoor caddies (50–100 gal)
- Outdoor corralled tanks (200–400 gal)
- Locked, theft-resistant options
- Free swap if your volume grows
Scheduled pickup service
Set a cadence that fits your volume — weekly, biweekly, every 3 weeks, or on-call. We send a text 24 hours before arrival. Pickups run before or after service hours to stay out of your way.
- Weekly / biweekly / on-call options
- Pre-arrival text notifications
- Emergency overflow dispatch
- Direct line to your dispatcher
Compliance & documentation
We handle all the regulatory paperwork on our side — EPA ID records, waste transport manifests, and chain-of-custody documentation. You get copies on request for your own records or audits.
- Waste transport manifests
- Monthly pickup summaries
- Year-end totals for your accountant
- Health dept / inspector documentation
Built for kitchens that actually fry.
From a single-location diner to a regional chain, we scale service to volume. Most of our work is with mid-size kitchens generating 50 to 400 gallons per month.
Independent restaurants
Single or dual location kitchens. Diners, grills, seafood, chicken, Chinese, Korean, Mediterranean, Tex-Mex. The bread and butter of who we serve.
Regional chains
Multi-location fried chicken, burger, or fast-casual groups. We standardize service across your locations and consolidate invoicing.
Institutional kitchens
Hotels, hospitals, colleges, stadiums. Larger-volume accounts with compliance documentation needs we handle end to end.

The used cooking oil market is having its biggest moment in fifty years. Your oil is worth more than it's ever been — and most of you aren't being paid accordingly. We're here to fix that one restaurant at a time.
A trade business, run like a trade business.
Greasegiant was started by operators who saw the same problem playing out over and over: kitchens treated like a low-margin afterthought by national haulers who couldn't keep a pickup schedule and couldn't be bothered to explain their pricing.
We're a local operator. We run our own trucks. We set our own routes. We answer our own phones. And we pay prices that track the actual commodity market — not whatever internal number a corporate spreadsheet spits out.
The used cooking oil business has quietly become one of the most important feedstock supply chains in North America, driven by renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel. Your oil ends up in jet engines. You deserve a real piece of that.
Three commitments we don't break.
Show up.
If we said we'd be there Tuesday, we'll be there Tuesday. If something goes wrong, you hear from us before you notice. Reliability is the whole job.
Tell the truth on pricing.
We quote a clear per-gallon rate and that's what you get paid. No hidden deductions, no "processing fees," no mystery math on the invoice. What we quote is what you earn.
Stay small enough to care.
We'd rather keep 200 restaurants happy than chase 2,000 we can't serve well. Growth follows service — not the other way around.
Licensed, insured, accountable.

Straight answers to the questions we hear most often. Don't see yours? Reach out — we'll answer personally, same day.
How much will you pay for my used cooking oil?
We pay industry-leading per-gallon rates — among the best rates in the business for your volume and region. The specific number depends on your location, monthly volume, and oil quality, so we quote it directly after we learn a little about your kitchen. Send us your restaurant name, city, and approximate monthly volume and we'll come back with a specific number within 24 hours.
Who installs and owns the collection equipment?
We provide and install the collection container at no cost. The container remains our property, and we maintain it. If your volume grows and you need a larger unit, we'll swap it for free. If you ever cancel, we'll come pick it up — no disposal fees, no paperwork hassle for you.
How do I switch from my current hauler?
Start with a quote from us so you can compare the numbers side-by-side. From there the mechanics are straightforward: we coordinate timing with you, install our equipment in line with your current hauler's removal, and your kitchen never misses a pickup during the transition. If you have an active agreement to review, we'll work around any notice windows or transition dates that apply — we've done this plenty of times and the process is usually simpler than kitchens expect.
How often do you pick up?
Whatever schedule keeps you from overflowing. Most of our accounts land on weekly or biweekly pickup, but we also do every-3-week schedules for lower-volume kitchens and same-day emergency dispatch for accounts that need it. We'll recommend a schedule based on your volume, then adjust as we learn your real flow.
Is there a volume minimum?
We'll work with any volume, but the math works best for kitchens producing at least 30–50 gallons per month. Below that, we can still collect — the per-gallon math just gets smaller. If you're a smaller kitchen and want a straight free-collection arrangement instead of per-gallon payment, we can do that too.
What happens if you miss a scheduled pickup?
We will have someone on-site within 24 hours of a missed scheduled pickup, full stop. You get a direct cell number to the dispatcher who handles your account on day one — not a 1-800 number that routes you to a call center. Our operation is built around not missing pickups. If we do miss one, that's on us to fix fast.
Do you help with health department or inspector documentation?
Yes. We provide monthly pickup summaries, waste transport manifests, and year-end totals on request. When inspectors show up asking how you're disposing of used fryer oil, you hand them a clean paper trail. We handle all EPA ID and waste transporter paperwork on our side.
How do I actually get paid?
Monthly, via ACH transfer. You receive a clean invoice showing gallons collected per pickup, your per-gallon rate, and the total. No processing fees, no deductions, no mystery line items. What we invoice is what you get.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold the state waste transporter license required in our service area, we're registered with an EPA ID for used oil transport, and we carry $1M in general liability plus $1M in commercial auto coverage. Certificates of insurance are available to any account that requests them.
Still have questions? Just ask.
We answer personally, not through a ticket system. Phone, email, or the form below.

Terms & conditions.
The plain-English version of how we work together — service agreements, the sign-on bonus, and the usual legal housekeeping. Last updated April 2026.
1. Sign-on bonus
New restaurant accounts that enter into a scheduled-pickup service agreement with Greasegiant may qualify for a one-time sign-on bonus based on expected monthly collection volume. The bonus tiers are:
- 50–149 gallons per month average — $100 sign-on bonus
- 150–299 gallons per month average — $250 sign-on bonus
- 300+ gallons per month average — $500 sign-on bonus
Volume tier is determined by the average monthly collection measured across the first 90 days of service. Accounts that don't reach the 50-gallon threshold during that window are not eligible for a sign-on bonus but remain in good standing as regular accounts.
How the bonus is paid
Instead of a single lump-sum payment, the sign-on bonus is paid out as a 20% increase on each monthly payout until the full bonus amount has been paid. In practice that means every month you receive your standard per-gallon payout plus an additional line item labeled "Sign-on bonus" equal to 20% of that month's collection payout. The bonus line item continues to appear on your invoice each month until the cumulative bonus payments equal your assigned bonus tier.
Worked example. If your assigned bonus tier is $500 and your monthly payout in a given month is $225, that month's invoice will include a $45 sign-on bonus (20% of $225). That $45 reduces the remaining bonus balance from $500 to $455. The following month, the 20% bonus is calculated again on that month's payout. This continues until the remaining bonus balance reaches zero. On the final month, any partial amount is paid to bring the total exactly to the bonus cap — never over.
Eligibility
- Offer is limited to new restaurant accounts that have not previously received service from Greasegiant at the same location.
- Limit one sign-on bonus per restaurant location, regardless of ownership or management changes.
- A signed Greasegiant service agreement is required. The bonus does not attach to verbal or on-call arrangements.
- Accounts must remain in good standing (scheduled pickups honored, no nonpayment for container rental or other fees) to continue receiving bonus payments.
Forfeiture and early termination
If the service agreement is terminated by the customer before the full bonus has been paid out — whether for convenience, nonperformance claims that are later found to be unsupported, or any other customer-initiated reason — any unpaid portion of the sign-on bonus is forfeited. Greasegiant is not obligated to pay out the remaining balance as a lump sum on termination. If Greasegiant terminates service through no fault of the customer, any unpaid balance of the sign-on bonus will be paid out in full on the final invoice.
Other bonus terms
- The sign-on bonus cannot be combined with other promotional offers unless explicitly authorized in writing.
- Greasegiant reserves the right to adjust, suspend, or discontinue the sign-on bonus program for new accounts at any time. Existing bonus balances remain payable under the terms in effect when the service agreement was signed.
- The bonus is paid as compensation for used cooking oil and is reported to the customer on the monthly invoice. Customers are responsible for their own tax treatment of amounts received.
2. Service agreement
Service is provided under a written agreement that specifies pickup cadence, per-gallon rate, container equipment terms, and account contact information. Either party may terminate the agreement with 30 days written notice unless otherwise specified in a signed addendum. Greasegiant retains ownership of any collection containers, pumps, and related equipment installed at customer locations; on termination, Greasegiant will retrieve its equipment within a reasonable window at no cost to the customer.
Per-gallon rates quoted during onboarding reflect prevailing market conditions at the time of quote and are subject to revision with 30 days written notice. Greasegiant will not unilaterally reduce rates retroactively for oil already collected.
3. Payment and invoicing
Customers are paid monthly via ACH transfer. Invoices itemize gallons collected per pickup, the applicable per-gallon rate, any sign-on bonus line item, and the total amount due to the customer. Greasegiant does not apply processing fees, handling deductions, or volume haircuts to the invoice. Payment is remitted within 15 business days of the close of each monthly invoice cycle.
4. Oil quality and site access
Greasegiant purchases used cooking oil suitable for rendering or biofuel feedstock. Containers containing water in excess of normal kitchen contamination, solvents, motor oil, or non-food-grade contaminants may be refused or subject to a contamination adjustment disclosed on the invoice. Customers agree to keep the collection container reasonably free of non-oil waste and to provide safe driver access during agreed-upon pickup windows.
Gallons collected are measured at pickup using calibrated metering or visual gauge on the collection vehicle. The measurement reflected on the pickup receipt is the volume used to calculate that month's payout and any sign-on bonus accrual. Customers who dispute a measurement must do so in writing within 30 days of the pickup; Greasegiant will review driver records, route logs, and vehicle meter data and issue a correcting invoice if an error is confirmed.
5. Collection containers and equipment
Greasegiant supplies collection containers, pumps, and related equipment at no cost for the duration of an active service agreement. All equipment remains the property of Greasegiant. Customers agree to:
- Keep the container in the location agreed at installation and not relocate, modify, or connect it to other equipment without prior approval.
- Use the container exclusively for used cooking oil from the customer's own food service operation.
- Provide reasonable protection against obvious hazards — vehicle traffic, runoff, vandalism — consistent with how the customer protects other back-of-house equipment.
Customers are not responsible for ordinary wear and tear or for corrosion and damage inherent to used cooking oil storage. Customers are responsible for replacement cost in the event of loss, theft, or damage caused by misuse, unauthorized modification, or negligence — for example, a container damaged by being struck by customer-operated equipment or moved without authorization. Greasegiant will share the replacement cost schedule on request.
6. Missed pickups and service credits
If Greasegiant fails to complete a scheduled pickup within the agreed cadence and the customer notifies us of an overflowing or near-full container, Greasegiant will dispatch a corrective pickup within two business days. If a corrective pickup cannot be completed within that window, Greasegiant will, at the customer's option, either apply a service credit to the following invoice or arrange and pay for a one-time alternate pickup by a licensed hauler.
Missed pickups caused by customer-side conditions — locked gates, blocked access, a container inaccessible due to on-site construction, or similar — are not eligible for credit. Greasegiant will make reasonable attempts to reach the customer before leaving the site and will document the cause on the next invoice.
7. Insurance and compliance
Greasegiant maintains commercial general liability and auto coverage as required by state and federal regulations applicable to used oil transport, operates under a valid waste transporter license in each service area, and holds an EPA Identification Number for used oil management. Certificates of insurance and licensing documentation are available to customer accounts on written request.
8. Website use and estimator disclaimer
The estimated payout calculator, sign-on bonus preview, and other tools on this website are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute an offer, a quote, or a guarantee of any payout amount or bonus tier.
Specifically:
- The calculator uses a reference per-gallon rate that may not match the rate offered in a specific service area or at a specific volume. Actual per-gallon rates depend on location, oil quality (FFA and MIU), prevailing market conditions, and scheduled volume.
- The sign-on bonus preview on the home page is based on the volume the customer enters. Final bonus tier eligibility is determined by actual measured volume during the first 90 days of service, as described in Section 1, not by the number entered into the calculator.
- Estimates expressed as monthly or annual payouts assume steady, on-schedule collection at the volume entered and do not account for seasonal variation, holidays, or account pauses.
Binding per-gallon rates, bonus eligibility, and service terms are confirmed only through a signed service agreement. Information submitted through forms on this site is used solely to respond to the inquiry and is not sold or disclosed to third parties except as required to provide service or as required by law.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Greasegiant's aggregate liability to a customer arising out of or related to the service agreement in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of (a) the amount paid to the customer under the agreement during that 12-month period, or (b) $2,500. Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including lost profits or lost business, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in this section limits either party's liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or any liability that cannot be limited by applicable law.
10. Force majeure
Neither party is liable for delays or failures in performance caused by events outside its reasonable control, including severe weather, natural disasters, fires, floods, labor disputes not involving its own employees, transportation disruptions, governmental actions, or widespread public health events. The affected party will give notice as soon as reasonably practicable and resume performance as soon as the event allows. Service credits under Section 6 do not apply to missed pickups caused by force majeure events.
11. Governing law and dispute resolution
These terms and any service agreement entered under them are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Before filing any legal action, the parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes in good faith through direct discussion between designated contacts for at least 30 days. Any legal action that cannot be resolved through direct discussion will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and both parties consent to the jurisdiction of those courts. Each party waives any right to a jury trial for disputes arising out of these terms.
12. General provisions
- Entire agreement. The signed service agreement, together with these terms, represents the entire understanding between the parties and supersedes any prior communications or proposals on the same subject matter.
- Order of precedence. If a signed service agreement conflicts with these terms, the service agreement controls for that specific customer.
- Assignment. Neither party may assign the agreement without the other party's written consent, except Greasegiant may assign to a successor in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of its business on prior written notice.
- Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.
- Waiver. A failure to enforce any provision on one occasion is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
- Notices. Written notice under these terms may be delivered by email to the address on file for the customer and to hello@greasegiant.co for Greasegiant.
13. Changes to these terms
Greasegiant may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Changes are not applied retroactively to obligations that vested under the terms in effect at the time a service agreement was signed.
14. Contact
Questions about these terms, the sign-on bonus, or a specific service agreement can be directed to hello@greasegiant.co or (555) 123-4567. A human answers — not a ticket queue.
