Used Cooking Oil Collection and Recycling Services

Cooking oil can be reused in fryers several times before its quality declines. Once it reaches the end of its useful life, it must be stored in a secure container for safe collection and recycling. Partnering with a trusted provider like Mahoney Environmental for regular UCO pickup protects the environment and keeps your kitchen safer.

We offer customized UCO collection and recycling services for restaurants and foodservice businesses. Our team collects oil directly from your storage containers and transports it to our recycling facility. The recycled oil is transformed into sustainable products like renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

As an EPA-licensed UCO recycler, we provide detailed collection reports to help you track your recycling efforts. We can also design and install professional cooking oil handling systems tailored to fit your operations.

Our used cooking oil recycling services include the following:

• UCO level monitoring
• UCO collection
• UCO transport and recycling
• Cooking oil equipment installation

Restaurant Grease Trap Cleaning and Maintenance

Every commercial kitchen requires properly maintained grease traps to operate safely and stay compliant. Grease traps stop fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from entering the plumbing and municipal sewage system. Letting FOG wash down the drain can damage pipes, harm the environment, and lead to costly fines for violating local regulations.

Grease traps work by using baffles to separate FOG from wastewater, collecting it in a holding area. Without regular cleaning, FOG buildup can cause clogs, backups, and other expensive kitchen issues, such as:

• Flooding in the kitchen
• Pollution and health issues
• Foul odors
• Costly remediation services
• Business closure
• Fines

Mahoney Environmental helps restaurants and commercial kitchens keep their grease traps performing at their best with our professional cleaning and maintenance services. Our team delivers thorough cleaning, reliable maintenance, and expert repairs, and we can also design and install new grease traps to fit your kitchen’s needs. As part of our grease trap services, we offer:

• Routine maintenance: We can provide recurring maintenance to keep your grease traps in working order and inspect them for possible problems.
• Cleaning and repair: We clean accumulated FOG from the traps and provide needed repairs.
• Rodding and jetting: We can clear clogs in the traps by using rodding and jetting techniques.
• Detailed inspection reports: We provide your business with a detailed report of our inspections and all work done on the traps on every visit.
• Comprehensive history records: We create a complete documented history of your grease traps with our inspection reports that help us foresee when maintenance is necessary or address potential problems.
