Skip the drop-off runs. Kabu Grease comes to your kitchen, picks up your used cooking oil on a set schedule, and pays you per gallon.
Most results for "used cooking oil recycling near me" point to drop-off sites meant for households. A commercial kitchen goes through far too much oil for that to make sense. Kabu Grease is a pickup service built for businesses: we deliver a free collection container, you fill it as you cook, and we collect it on a set schedule.
There is no oil to haul and nothing to arrange each time. We also pay you per gallon, based on how much we pick up and the current market for used cooking oil.
| Hauling it yourself | Kabu Grease pickup | |
|---|---|---|
| Who moves the oil | Your staff | We do |
| Container | You find and buy one | Delivered free |
| Setup cost | Varies | $0 |
| Paid for your oil | Not typically | Yes, per gallon |
Used cooking oil collected from restaurants is recycled instead of being poured down a drain or thrown away. It is commonly processed into renewable fuels such as biodiesel and renewable diesel, and into other products such as animal feed ingredients. Keeping fryer oil out of sewer lines also helps prevent the clogs and backups that grease causes.
We serve food businesses within a 100-mile radius of the Twin Cities, including Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding suburbs. Not sure whether you are in range? Call (612) 562-8783 (call or text) or email kabugrease@gmail.com and we will confirm.
Kabu Grease is a pickup service for businesses, so we do not run a public drop-off site. If you are a household, your county or city recycling program can tell you where residents can take used cooking oil.
No. We serve commercial kitchens: restaurants, bakeries, and food trucks. If you run another kind of commercial kitchen, call (612) 562-8783 (call or text) and we will tell you whether we can help.
Nothing. The container is free, pickup is free, and you are paid per gallon based on the volume we collect and the current used cooking oil market.
