Free container. Free scheduled pickup. Zero disposal fees, ever. Northshore Grease Trap collects your used fryer oil and recycles it into biodiesel — and pays nothing back to nature, but plenty back to you in savings.
No setup fees. No container rental. No fuel surcharges. No "haul-away" line items. The whole program is structured to cost a Northshore restaurant exactly zero dollars.
Why we can do this: Used cooking oil has value as a biodiesel feedstock. Northshore Grease Trap earns our revenue downstream from the recycler — so we pass the disposal cost back to zero for the kitchen. The cleaner your oil stream, the better the program works for everyone.
No deposits, no installation fees, no contracts you can't get out of.
Container, pickup, transport, disposal — all of it is free, forever.
Every gallon you give us becomes biodiesel. Zero goes to a landfill.
Tell us your fryer count and roughly how much oil you go through a week. We'll size the container and propose a pickup cadence — usually weekly or bi-weekly.
Free of charge. Sealed, lockable, and positioned wherever works for your back-of-house.
Cool your oil, pour it in, close the lid. That's it. No paperwork, no logbooks on your end.
On schedule (or on demand if you fill early), we pump it out and leave a clean container behind. You see us less than your linen service.
There is no catch. Northshore Grease Trap gets paid by the biodiesel processor who takes the recycled oil. As long as the oil isn't contaminated with water or chemicals, the program pays for itself before we even pick it up.
Call (985) 602-1747 and we'll send a truck out — also free. We'd rather make an extra trip than have you store oil in 5-gallon buckets behind the dumpster.
No. Free used cooking oil pickup is open to any commercial kitchen in our service area, whether or not you use Northshore Grease Trap for grease trap cleaning. The two services just happen to combine very efficiently.
Used fryer oil only, please. Water, soap, or chemical contamination ruins the load for biodiesel — and means we can't pick it up free. If you've got a contamination issue, call us and we'll work out a fix.
We size them to your kitchen: 55-gallon and 65-gallon are most common. High-volume operations get larger tanks. All containers are sealed, lockable, and odor-controlled.
If you're paying anyone for used cooking oil disposal right now, you're overpaying. Switch to Northshore Grease Trap's free pickup program and stop the bleeding today.
