A new grease hauler Serving the DMV · 2026

Your grease guy
is your problem our problem.

Overflowing tanks. Pickups that never come. Customer service black holes. Thieves siphoning your tank at 3am. A container so filthy your customers can smell it from the parking lot. The grease hauling industry has been treating restaurants like an afterthought for decades. We're done with that — and oh, we pay you for the oil too.

The five sins

Five things your grease hauler probably did to you this month.

If three or more of these sound familiar, you're paying for service you're not getting — and the math is worse than you think.

01
The tank overflowed again.
You told them it was full. They said next week. Next week came. They didn't. Now there's a slick on your back lot, your dishwasher slipped, the rats are throwing a party, and the town just left a notice on your door. Your fryer guys are still working — they have to dump somewhere.
The cost: Health-code fines run $250–$2,500 per violation. One slip-and-fall claim can move your workers-comp premium for three years.
02
The pickup never came.
Scheduled for Tuesday. You moved the dumpster, propped the gate, told the morning crew to leave the back unlocked. Tuesday came and went. So did Wednesday. You called dispatch. They said they'd "check on it." That was four days ago. You're still calling.
The cost: Every missed pickup is a 7-day clock to a fine, a spill, or a complaint. You're running a kitchen — not a dispatcher.
03
No one answers the phone.
You called the number on the side of the container. Voicemail. You called the number on your last invoice. Voicemail. You filled out the contact form on their site. Crickets. The only time you hear from them is when the auto-billing fails. Then they call.
The cost: Time you don't have. A grease hauler should be the most boring vendor you work with — not the one eating your afternoon.
04
Someone is stealing your grease.
Yellow grease is now worth more per gallon than diesel was a decade ago. Unlocked tanks in dark back lots are getting hit constantly — a pickup truck with a 12V pump can drain 300 gallons in under 20 minutes. Your hauler shows up to empty air. Your rebate check shrinks. The thieves sell it down the road for cash.
The cost: Every theft is rebate dollars off your check. Unmonitored tanks in busy alleys can get hit twice a month — and you'd never know.
05
The container itself is the problem.
The day it arrived, it was already filthy. Now there's a permanent grease ring on your concrete. Flies in the summer, rats in the fall, a smell your customers pick up before they're even out of their car. After every pickup the area's somehow worse — drips down the side, a fresh slick where the truck parked, and a lid that no longer closes flush.
The cost: Pest control call-outs. Pressure-washing your back lot. A health inspector with a raised eyebrow. And it's the first thing your customers walk past on the way in.

The greasegiant way

Built by people who got sick of how this industry treats restaurants.

We rebuilt grease collection from scratch. Modern dispatch. Locked containers. A human who answers. And yes — aggressive market rates on top of it all.

Pickups that happen before your tank is full.

Our system tracks your volume and books pickups automatically — usually a day before you'd have noticed it was filling up. No calls to dispatch. No "where's my pickup?" emails. It just happens.

Locked, monitored containers.

Steel-locked lids on every container. Tamper alerts on theft-prone routes. Your grease stays your grease — which means your rebate check is the size it's supposed to be.

A real person, same day.

Text or call. We answer. If you need a same-day pickup because the line cook double-changed the fryers, we send a truck — not a voicemail prompt.

Containers that stay clean.

Sealed, well-kept containers. Trucks that don't drip. After every pickup, the area gets a quick rinse — not left worse than we found it. Your back lot stops smelling like one.

We handle the paperwork.

EPA ID records, waste transport manifests, chain-of-custody documentation, year-end totals for your accountant. When an inspector asks how you're disposing of fryer oil, you hand them a clean paper trail.

Cadence that fits your kitchen.

Weekly, biweekly, every-three-weeks, on-call — whatever schedule keeps you out of overflow territory. We adjust as we learn your real flow. Emergency same-day pickups for the days the line cook triple-changed the fryers.

Who we serve

Built for kitchens that actually fry.

From a single-location diner to a regional chain to an institutional kitchen — we scale service to your volume, not the other way around.

— Type A

Independent restaurants.

Single or dual-location kitchens. Diners, grills, seafood, chicken, Chinese, Korean, Mediterranean, Tex-Mex. The bread and butter of who we serve.

— Type B

Regional chains.

Multi-location fried chicken, burger, or fast-casual groups. We standardize service across your locations and consolidate invoicing in one place.

— Type C

Institutional kitchens.

Hotels, hospitals, colleges, stadiums. Larger-volume accounts with compliance documentation needs — handled end-to-end on our side.

We treat grease pickup the way it should have been treated all along — as a thing that just happens, in the background, while you run your restaurant.
— Maitham & Tahir, founders
Oh — and we pay you

We don't just haul. We pay.

Most haulers treat the rebate like a footnote. We treat it like a competitive advantage. Whatever the market is doing, our rate sits at the top of it — no slow-rolling adjustments, no "market reset" surprises on your invoice.

Who we are

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 rates 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.

What we stand for

Three commitments we don't break.

01

Show up.

If we said Tuesday, we'll be there Tuesday. If something goes wrong, you hear from us before you notice. Reliability is the whole job.

02

Be straight with you.

No hidden deductions. No "processing fees." No mystery math on the invoice. What we tell you about your rate is what shows up in your account.

03

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.

FAQ

Everything a kitchen manager asks before switching.

Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Don't see yours? Send it — we'll reply personally.

How much will you pay for my used cooking oil?

+

We pay aggressive market rates — among the best in the business for your volume and region. The specific number depends on your location, monthly volume, and oil quality, so we send it directly after we learn a little about your kitchen. Drop us your restaurant name, city, and approximate monthly volume and we'll come back with a clear number.

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 by sending us your current agreement — half the time there's an exit clause they're hoping you don't notice. From there the mechanics are simple: 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. The process is usually simpler than kitchens expect.

How often do you pick up?

+

Whatever schedule keeps you from overflowing. Most accounts land on weekly or biweekly pickup, but we also do every-3-week schedules for lower-volume kitchens and same-day emergency dispatch when you need it. We recommend a schedule based on your volume, then adjust as we learn your real flow.

Is there a volume minimum?

+

We 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 prefer a straight free-collection arrangement instead of per-gallon payment, we can do that too.

What happens if you miss a scheduled pickup?

+

You get a direct cell number to the dispatcher who handles your account on day one — not a 1-800 number routed to a call center. Our operation is built around not missing pickups. If we do miss one, that's on us to fix fast — we'll have someone on-site to make it right.

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.
