In order for food service establishments and commercial kitchens to function, they need an effective plan in place to handle cooking oil, including the delivery of fresh oil and disposing of cooking oil. This makes it important to work with a professional that can supply fresh cooking oil, provide used cooking oil pickup and recycling, and offer additional services such as equipment installation and maintenance. If foodservice establishments do not work with a trusted cooking oil professional, this can be detrimental to the efficiency of their kitchens and have an effect on their bottom line.
Mahoney Environmental is a trusted professional that has been providing cooking oil services for restaurants, including used cooking oil recycling, since 1953. We have partnered with businesses across the U.S. to handle their cooking oil processes including fresh deliveries, pickup of used cooking oil, equipment installation, and the maintenance and cleaning of grease traps and other equipment. Our cooking oil services have helped many businesses improve the safety and efficiency of their processes which benefits their bottom line, as well as the natural environment.

2. Complete Cooking Oil Services
Mahoney Environmental offers several cooking oil services that can be bundled together in any combination to meet your back of the house needs:
- Preferred Oil: We offer fresh, Preferred Oil cooking oil in bulk. This high-grade oil is available in several different blends, and you can even have custom blends made. Our professionals will deliver fresh Preferred Oil to you to ensure that you never run out.
- Automated used oil system: We provide and install Direct Connect systems that automate the handling of used cooking oil. With this system, you can transfer the used cooking oil from the fryer to the storage tank simply by flipping a switch. Our professionals can design and install a Direct Connect system that works for your kitchen, and we have standard and custom storage tanks available in many different sizes.
- Grease trap services: Grease traps are important in commercial kitchens because they prevent fats, oils, and grease from washing down the drain which can cause drain backups, sewer issues, and noxious odors. We provide scheduled grease trap cleaning and maintenance to ensure that your traps are in working order and we can provide repairs, rodding, and jetting when there is a problem.
- Used cooking oil recycling: We provide timely, reliable used cooking oil pickup and recycling in which we will safely handle your used cooking oil to get you the maximum value. Over 99 percent of the used cooking oil we collect is recycled to produce environmentally friendly products like renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuels.
When you work with Mahoney Environmental, you can choose from any of these services or bundle them all together so that we are your one stop shop for all of your cooking oil needs.

4. Dedication to the Environment
It is very important for used cooking oil to be handled and recycled properly to get the most value out of it and protect the natural environment. Used cooking oil can pollute the natural environment if it is not properly handled or disposed of and it can cause damage to the sewer system if it is allowed down the drain. Damage to the sewer system can also cause harm to the environment.
At Mahoney Environmental, we are dedicated to protecting the natural environment with everything we do from safely handling used cooking oil to ensuring it is properly recycled. We make sure that nearly 100 percent of all used cooking oil collected is recycled and made into raw materials used to produce soap, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuels, and animal feed additives.
The used cooking oil recycling process is done by our sister company Mendota Agri-Products. The value that we get from the used cooking oil is passed on to you, our customer. Our cooking oil recycling services have positively impacted the environment in the following ways:
- A gallon of renewable fuels is created for each 7.6 pounds of fats, oils, and grease that is recycled. Approximately 1.1 million barrels of alternative fuels are created with recycled oil each year which reduces dependence on foreign oil.
- Cooking oil recycling reduces the environmental impact of disposing of used cooking oil in landfills and reduces the amount of oil waste in sewer systems and water treatment facilities.
- The smaller burden on landfills and water treatment facilities saves taxpayer money.
- We reduce our carbon footprint as each metric ton of CO2 produced by the recycling process removes more than 7 metric tons of CO2 from the environment.
5. Service Program Options
Mahoney Environmental understands that there is no one size fits all solution as each foodservice business and commercial kitchen has their own unique needs. We offer many options for our services and recycling programs to ensure that we accommodate the needs of your business.
As discussed above, you can bundle any combination of our cooking oil services together including fresh cooking oil delivery, equipment maintenance and installation, grease trap cleaning, and used cooking oil recycling to maximize the use of your cooking oil and reduce your total cost of frying. We also provide you with the equipment to handle and store your used cooking oil at no capital expense to you.
Our used cooking oil recycling service program options include the following:
- No risk basic program: Fixed rebate on every pound of used oil collected.
- Market value premier program: The value of the used cooking oil collected is based on market value prices which means that you will get increased value for your cooking oil when the market price increases. We will provide you with monthly rebates and reports based on the amount of used cooking oil collected from you and the current market value of the oil.
In order to get the best possible value for your used cooking oil, we can install the Mahoney Environmental UCO Level Tracker inside your used cooking oil storage container to accurately track the level of the tank in real time. This helps us protect your used cooking oil from theft and ensure that we recover the maximum amount of used cooking oil from your business.
