Let us handle your used cooking oil recycling so you can focus on what you do best -serving great food.
Eazy Grease provides reliable used cooking oil recycling for food businesses across South Carolina. We supply secure containers, handle scheduled pickups, and ensure proper, eco-friendly disposal.
All commercial kitchens are required to have grease traps to prevent fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from being washed down the drain. Without a properly functioning grease trap, FOG enters the drainage system where it can solidify, causing serious clogs, damaged pipes, and costly plumbing repairs. It’s not just good practice — it’s a code requirement.
Neglecting grease trap maintenance is one of the most common causes of plumbing emergencies in commercial kitchens. Accumulated FOG hardens inside pipes and sewer lines, leading to backups, overflows, and potentially thousands of dollars in emergency repairs. Beyond the plumbing damage, failing inspections due to unmaintained grease traps can result in code violations, fines, and in serious cases, temporary or permanent business closure.
Used cooking oil recycling is the process of collecting spent fryer oil and vegetable oil from food service businesses and repurposing it into valuable products — most commonly biodiesel fuel. Instead of disposing of oil improperly (which can damage plumbing and harm the environment), recycling it creates a sustainable loop that benefits your business, the local infrastructure, and the planet.
Cleaning frequency depends on your kitchen’s volume, but regular maintenance is essential. Pickup schedules should be based on how much oil you recycle and the size of your storage container. Most companies will assist in identifying the perfect pump-out frequency for you.
Yes. Through Eazy Grease’s rebate program, food service businesses can earn revenue from their collected cooking oil rather than paying for disposal. We provide transparent rebates with no hidden fees or surprise deductions — what you’re owed is what you receive. Regular, scheduled pickups also protect that revenue by reducing the risk of oil theft, which is a growing problem that directly cuts into your rebate earnings.
Absolutely. South Carolina residents have several options for recycling household cooking oil. The RecycleHereSC map lists over 900 drop-off locations across the state, and many counties provide designated sites specifically for cooking oil. Eazy Grease primarily serves commercial food service businesses, but we’re happy to point you toward the nearest residential option — just ask us.
All oil collected by Eazy Grease is transported to our grease processing facility, where it’s refined and converted into biodiesel — a renewable fuel used to power trucks, freighters, and other diesel-run vehicles. Biodiesel (technically known as Fatty Acid Methyl Esters, or FAME) can be produced from used vegetable oil, animal fats, and other lipid-based sources. In some cases, collected oil may also be refined into renewable diesel or sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), depending on quality and processing pathway.
Recycling used cooking oil keeps FOG out of sewer systems, reducing the risk of costly municipal infrastructure damage and environmental contamination. Converting that oil into biodiesel further closes the loop — it displaces fossil fuel consumption, lowering carbon emissions compared to conventional petroleum-based diesel. South Carolina’s food service industry contributes approximately $13.8 billion to the state economy, and sustainable practices like UCO recycling help ensure that growth doesn’t come at an environmental cost.
Our core service is the cooking oil collection and recycling. For grease trap cleaning and maintenance, we recommend working with a licensed grease trap service provider in your area. That said, our team is well-versed in South Carolina’s FOG compliance requirements and can help make sure your oil storage and collection setup keeps you on the right side of local and state regulations.
Getting started is straightforward. Our Anderson-based team conducts a free assessment of your facility within 24 hours, then installs a secure, leak-proof container sized for your kitchen within 4 business days. From there, collection runs on your schedule — bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly — using AI-optimized routing that eliminates missed pickups. You don’t need to call or coordinate anything. Our technicians handle it automatically.
Used cooking oil theft is a real and growing problem for food service businesses — stolen oil means lost rebate revenue and operational disruption. Eazy Grease containers are equipped with theft-prevention features designed to secure your oil between pickups. Regular, reliable collection schedules also mean oil doesn’t sit unattended for extended periods, further reducing exposure to theft risk.
