Eco-Friendly Recycling and Waste Oil Recovery

Your used cooking oil doesn’t go to waste. Once collected, it’s processed and recycled into biodiesel, a renewable fuel that powers vehicles and reduces reliance on fossil fuels. This supports both the environment and the local sustainability movement.

Why Proper Cooking Oil Disposal Is Critical

Pouring cooking grease down the drain can lead to serious FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease) blockages. That means backed-up pipes, fines, and damage to the sewer system. Improper oil disposal also adds waste to landfills and can harm local waterways.

With Eazy Grease, you’ll avoid:

✅ Grease-related clogs

✅ Heavy municipal fines

✅ Costly repairs

✅ Unwanted downtime in your kitchen operations
