Service description
Used, virgin and expired oil removal in Palm Desert, CA
We run three distinct oil programs in Palm Desert, and most accounts use more than one. Used cooking oil is collected from sealed indoor bins or lockable outdoor tanks on a standing schedule, pumped spill free and hauled to a permitted rendering facility. Virgin and unused oil is picked up when a kitchen over orders, closes, remodels or changes menu, still sealed in cases, drums, totes or on pallets. Expired and out of compliance oil is removed as a documented destruction job, and can also be delivered to our facility by appointment.
El Paseo dining district in Palm Desert are typical of the accounts on this route. Whether you fill one 50 gallon bin a month or need a tanker for a bulk load, the crew, the paperwork and the pickup window are the same.
Every Palm Desert pickup ends with a Waste Manifest Report, and destruction documents are issued whenever expired or out of compliance product is removed. All waste removed is properly disposed of and recycled into renewable energy.

- Sealed indoor bins or lockable outdoor tanks provided
- Scheduled weekly, bi weekly or monthly pickup
- On call pickup when a container fills early
