Fryer Oil Disposal and Recycling Services
Cooking oil can only be used so many times before it passes its useful life and needs to be replaced with fresh oil. When cooking oil has been used, it must be stored in the proper storage tanks until a professional can collect it for recycling. Proper handling and storage of UCO helps protect the natural environment and recycling the UCO is an eco-friendly process. Working with a professional like Mahoney Environmental will ensure that UCO is taken to a facility where it can be recycled.
Our professionals provide fryer oil disposal and recycling services for foodservice businesses. We collect the UCO directly from the storage tanks and take it to a facility where it can be recycled and used for the production of eco-friendly materials. Our UCO pickup services are tailored to suit the specific needs of each of our clients.

Restaurant Grease Trap Cleaning and Installation
Grease traps are a necessary feature of all commercial kitchens to help prevent fats, oil, and grease (FOG) from washing down the drain. FOG can cause damage to the sewer system if it does down the drain and pollute the environment. Allowing FOG down the drain may also violate municipal and state codes which can get your business fined or temporarily shut down.
Restaurant grease traps use a system of baffles to separate the fats, oil, and grease from the water and contain them within the trap. The buildup of FOG within the traps can eventually lead to problems which is why the grease traps need regular cleaning. If grease traps are not cleared, the following problems may arise:
- Kitchen flooding
- Foul odors
- Expensive remediation
- Business closure
- Contamination and health issues
- Fines
The grease trap cleaning and maintenance services that we provide include removing built up FOG from the traps as well as maintenance and repairs to keep the traps in working order. Our grease trap cleaning and maintenance services include the following:
- Regular maintenance: We will provide regular grease trap cleaning and maintenance to ensure that they are working properly.
- Cleaning and repair: Built up FOG will be removed, and we will provide any repairs that are needed.
- Rodding and jetting: We can rod or jet the traps to remove difficult clogs.
- Inspection report: Each visit, we will make an inspection report of the work we did and the condition of the traps.
- History reports: The inspection reports will help us track the repair and maintenance history of your traps so we can anticipate potential problems and needed maintenance.
- Emergency 24/7 cleanup: We provide 24/7 services to clean and repair traps in case of an emergency.
- Compliance with regulations: Clean and functional grease traps will help you avoid fines by staying in compliance with local and state regulations.
Restaurant Grease Disposal Containers
