Creating Value for Foodservice Operations Nationwide
Since 1953, Mahoney Environmental has provided reliable used cooking oil recycling services to commercial kitchens across the United States. Our collection and recycling program improves safety, sanitation, and the total cost of frying for restaurants, hotels, stadiums, airports, grocery stores, and franchises nationwide.
We manage the entire oil recycling process from equipment setup to collection to processing, capturing more value from used oils and passing it on to you. Every gallon of used cooking oil we collect becomes renewable diesel or sustainable aviation fuel.
Full-Service Used Cooking Oil Collection
Mahoney Environmental offers a complete cooking oil recycling program designed to keep your kitchen running efficiently while supporting proper disposal practices that protect the sewer system and environment.
Our cooking oil recycling services include:
- Scheduled pickup of used fryer oil and cooking grease from your location
- Safe transport and processing of oil into usable raw material
- Equipment installation, maintenance, and monitoring
- Fresh cooking oil delivery through our Preferred Oil Program
Unlike improper disposal methods that can clog sewer pipes, cause sanitary sewer overflows, and damage wastewater treatment plants, our recycling program ensures your used cooking oil never ends up in storm drains or creates problems for wastewater utilities in your surrounding area.
Cooking Oil Equipment Installation and Design
Our professionals will install a system to handle the used cooking oil in your establishment. We carefully assess your business needs, kitchen layout, and frying volume to create a cooking oil disposal system that fits your specific situation.
-
Automated Systems
We install automated systems that safely transfer used cooking oil from fryers to storage containers without manual handling. These systems improve kitchen safety, reduce spills, and greatly decrease waste. Our automated systems can be retrofitted into existing commercial kitchens, making it easy to upgrade your current oil management setup.
-
Bulk Containers
Our bulk containers are durable, leak-proof holding tanks designed for kitchens that prefer manual oil handling. Each container features a protective screen under the lid to filter debris and ensure only cooking oil enters the tank. Built-in safety barriers protect employees from contact with hot oil.

Equipment Design and Installation
For complicated layouts or high-volume operations, we design custom cooking oil management systems, including specialized tanks, piping, controls, and handling solutions. Our professionals will assess your unique requirements and create equipment that enhances workflow and safety specific to your kitchen.
Fresh Cooking Oil Delivery
Mahoney Environmental does more than collect your used cooking oil for recycling. We also deliver fresh cooking oil through our Preferred Oil Program in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Wisconsin, creating a closed-loop system that covers your cooking oil needs.
The Preferred Oil Program includes:
- Scheduled delivery of fresh oil formulated for your specific requirements
- Coordinated pickup and delivery so oil management is handled in one visit
- Online monitoring of your oil usage to optimize efficiency
- Automated inventory tracking to prevent running out of supplies
This program improves inventory consistency, reduces theft and spills, and keeps your kitchen stocked with fresh cooking oil.
Why Proper Cooking Oil Disposal Matters
Improper cooking oil disposal creates serious problems for municipal infrastructure and the environment. When grease enters the drain or kitchen sink, it solidifies in sewer pipes and restricts water flow. This buildup leads to sanitary sewer overflows that contaminate the surrounding area and burden wastewater treatment plants.
Commercial kitchens generate far more cooking grease than residential cooking oil from households. Without a reliable recycling program, this volume of fat and leftover grease can overwhelm the sanitary sewer system and result in costly backups, foul odors, and regulatory fines.
Mahoney Environmental provides a better alternative. Rather than treating used cooking oil as solid waste or hazardous waste destined for trash collection, we transform it into valuable feedstock for renewable fuel production.
