Green Mountain Products provides used cooking oil pickup service for restaurants and commercial kitchens. Whether you’re opening a new restaurant or looking to change collection providers, we’ll help you determine the right container size, review your payment rate, and establish a pickup schedule that works for your kitchen.
Getting started is simple. Give us a call or fill out our online form, and we’ll walk you through the process.
Getting Started
Tell Us About Your Kitchen
Our team will ask a few questions to help determine your container size and collection needs.
- What kind of cooking oil do you use?
- How many fryers do you operate?
- How often do you change your fryer oil?
- How much oil do you buy in a typical week or month?
Your answers help us estimate how much used oil your kitchen produces. We’ll also discuss where to place the container so your staff can reach it, and our truck can get to it for pickups.
Review Your Rate and Pickup Schedule
We pay you for your used cooking oil based on its type, condition, and volume. During our first call, we’ll discuss your rate, recommend a pickup schedule, and arrange a setup visit based on your location and our routes.
If we need to see your setup before confirming a rate, we’ll go over it when we’re there.
Get Your Container Set Up
During the setup visit, we’ll review the container location, explain how to use it, and go over your service agreement.
We’ll show your restaurant staff what belongs in the container, what needs to stay out, and how to keep it accessible for collection. We’ll also explain the payment paperwork and provide a contact for any service questions.
What to Expect from Your Used Cooking Oil Pickup Service
Regular Pickups
Once your service is established, we’ll collect your restaurant’s used cooking oil on an agreed schedule. As we learn more about your oil volume, we can adjust pickup frequency to better match your kitchen’s needs.
There’s no need to call for each scheduled pickup. If your container reaches about 80% capacity before your next collection, contact us so we can review your pickup options.
A Record of Each Collection
After each used cooking oil pickup, you’ll receive an email confirming the collection details, including the date, driver, and number of gallons collected.
If your container is empty and you haven’t received a pickup confirmation, give us a call. We’ll check our records and help determine what happened.
Service That Adjusts to Your Restaurant
Restaurant oil volumes can change with seasonal demand, menu updates, or additional fryers. If your kitchen is producing more used oil than usual, let us know so we can review pickup availability and container options.
For ongoing changes to your operation, we’ll work with you to determine whether your current collection schedule still meets your needs.
How to Use Your Cooking Oil Collection Container
Proper storage helps maintain the quality of your used cooking oil and keeps your restaurant’s collection process running smoothly.
Follow these guidelines between pickups:
- Keep the container lid closed to prevent rainwater from entering.
- Filter food scraps and solids from the oil before adding it.
- Never add motor oil, trash, cleaning chemicals, or wash water.
- Keep the area around the container clean and clear.
- Leave enough space for our collection truck to access the container.
- Contact us before the container runs out of room.
If you’re unsure whether something belongs in your used cooking oil container, check with our team before adding it.
Getting Paid for Your Restaurant’s Used Cooking Oil
Green Mountain Products pays restaurants and commercial kitchens for qualifying used cooking oil. Your payment rate depends on the type, condition, and volume of oil collected.
We’ll explain your rate and the information needed to set up payments when you begin service.
The condition of your oil matters. Water, food waste, and other contaminants can reduce its value. Keeping these materials out of your collection container helps preserve the quality of the oil.
