No-Cost Service

Free Cooking Oil Pickup
for Restaurants

Grand Natural collects your used cooking oil at no charge. We supply the container, schedule the pickups, and handle everything — so you can focus on running your kitchen.

Why Restaurants Choose Free UCO Pickup

Used cooking oil is a valuable commodity. When Grand Natural collects your UCO, it gets processed into biodiesel and renewable energy — creating real value from what most restaurants treat as waste. That's why we're able to offer this service at zero cost to you.

More than 33,000 restaurants across the country rely on Grand Natural to keep their kitchens compliant and their grease containers from overflowing. Our pickup schedules are designed around your operation, not ours.

  • Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly pickup schedules

Did You Know?

Restaurants that improperly dispose of used cooking oil can face fines of $1,000 or more per violation. Grand Natural's free pickup service keeps you compliant and eliminates disposal liability entirely.

High Volume? Get Paid.

Restaurants producing large quantities of used cooking oil — fast food chains, institutional kitchens, large-scale food service operations — often qualify for our rebate program. Ask about it when you call.

How Free Cooking Oil Pickup Works

Getting started takes less than 5 minutes. Here's what happens once you sign up:

  1. We deliver a container to your restaurant — 35 or 55 gallon, depending on your output
  2. Your kitchen staff pours cooled, used cooking oil into the container between pickups
  3. Our driver arrives on your scheduled day and swaps or pumps the container
  4. The oil is transported to our processing facility and converted into biodiesel
  5. You receive a service record for compliance documentation

There's no invoicing, no billing, and no surprise charges. The service is genuinely free because the recycled oil has value downstream.

Compliance and Documentation

Many municipalities and health departments require restaurants to have a documented grease disposal plan. Grand Natural's free cooking oil pickup satisfies those requirements. We provide service records for every pickup, which you can use to demonstrate compliance during health inspections.

Our drivers are trained on proper container handling and spill prevention. Every pickup is logged in our system so you have a complete audit trail if you ever need it.
