Used Restaurant Fryer Oil and Grease Collection

Restaurant Grease Recycling

Millstadt Rendering collects and recycles used fryer oil/grease from restaurants and food processing plants. This recycled oil will be used as a raw material in animal feed, fertilizers, bio-diesel and other products.

With over 55 years in the business, we are the restaurant cooking oil recycling near me go-to for restaurants in the St Louis metro east.

What type of fryer grease storage containers are available?

We provide restaurants and customers with an outside storage container/dumpster for cooking oil collection based on the volume of fryer grease recycled. Below are the three size containers we provide restaurants for cooking oil recycling services.

• 55 Gallon Drum
• Small Dumpster *
• Large Dumpster *

*Restaurant grease recycling dumpsters need to be in an area with no overhead wires or tree limbs.

Millstadt Rendering does not install inside grease containment systems but can pump the oil from an existing inside system.

What fryer oils are accepted for recycling?

Millstadt Rendering recycles most vegetable oils including corn oil, soybean oil, canola oil, peanut oil etc. Animal fat such as lard can also be recycled.

What should not be put in the grease recycling container?

Motor oil, wash water, trap water, antifreeze, paint, paint thinner, rags, paper towels, plastic bags, glass, yard waste, grill bricks, straws, rubber gloves, food waste, chemicals, cleaning supplies, or anything else that is not fryer oil/grease.

How often is each account serviced?

Service frequency will be determined by volume of restaurant fryer oil used, location, and area route cycle. Some accounts are serviced once a week, once a month, or once a year.

Fryer oil recycling volume may not be steady.  Changing the fryer oil more often, adding/using additional fryers, and seasonal peaks in business due to festivals, events, & trade shows may challenge the service cycle. If the fryer grease recycling volume increase or decreases, it may be necessary to change your service cycle.  To avoid overfilling your fryer oil recycling container, please call the office if you experience any of these changes in your volume.

We proudly provide the most reliable grease disposal customer service to the St Louis and metro east food service industry. Call 618-538-5312 to discuss getting started.

What will cause my container to have an odor?

When cleaning fryers, be sure that wash water is not put into the dumpster. This will likely create an odor problem.

Pouring the wash water from the fryer down the drain, may result in a clogged drain. Place the wash water in a five gallon bucket. If there is any grease, it will float to the top and the water will settle on the bottom. Take a paper towel, skim off the grease, and throw the towel in the trash. The rest is water and can be safely poured down the drain.

Is there a value to the fryer oil/grease?

We pay restaurants a rebate for the restaurant fryer oil collected.   Geographic, environmental, global, manufacturing, and financial markets are some of the factors that affect the amount of the rebate. Rebate values fluctuate with the market.

Contact us at: 618-538-5312 for proper disposal, great rebates and no ongoing contracts for restaurant grease removal services.
