Restaurants and other commercial kitchens need a practical way to manage used cooking oil. InterState Restaurant Services described its collection service in this 2022 article, including scheduled pickups and indoor and outdoor storage options.
The service supports businesses such as restaurants, casinos, hotels and grocery stores. Equipment, schedules and commercial terms should be confirmed for each location.
Keep Oil Out of Drains
Cooking oil can contribute to blockages and damage in drains and sewer systems. Collecting it separately gives a kitchen a planned way to handle used oil and send it for recycling. Businesses should also follow the requirements that apply to their location.
Work With a Local Team
Partnering with a local collection business connects restaurants with people who serve their community. InterState takes pride in its Northern California roots and its relationships with local businesses and charitable organizations.
From Used Oil to Another Resource
Recovered cooking oil can be processed into fuels such as biodiesel or renewable diesel. The processing pathway and final use depend on the receiving operation. Environmental results vary with the feedstock, process and fuel; collection alone does not guarantee a particular outcome.
