Oil Savers
Restaurants, takeaways, hotels, caterers, canteens and food manufacturers all produce used cooking oil, and pouring it down the drain blocks pipes and grease traps and pollutes water. Oil Savers collects used cooking oil from commercial kitchens and food businesses across our Gauteng routes, from 50 litres.
What usually qualifies
Used frying oil and commercial kitchen cooking oil usually qualify, as do some food-production oils. Oil that’s mostly water, heavily burnt, or mixed with cleaning chemicals or grease-trap waste may not qualify for payment.
How to store it
- Let the oil cool completely before you decant it.
- Strain out food particles where you can.
- Keep it in sealed containers or drums with lids, out of the rain.
- Don’t mix in water, cleaning products or grease-trap contents.
Payment and collection
Instant payment is available for qualifying used cooking oil once the terms are confirmed. What qualifies depends on the oil’s condition, volume and location. Busy kitchens often prefer a regular collection so storage never becomes a problem, while smaller kitchens can request a collection whenever they reach the minimum.
Why it matters for your business
Proper collection keeps drains and grease traps clearer, reduces smells and pests around the bins, and gives you a record that your used oil was disposed of responsibly. That’s useful for health inspections and landlords.
