Where the grease goes

Every kitchen in the city produces it. The trip with us has four stops.

  1. The trap or the container
    Grease trap waste from the pumpout, used cooking oil from the containers.
  2. The truck
    Grease trucks and recycling tankers run it back the same day. Nobody hauls your trap waste out of the city and bills you for the miles.
  3. The station
    Our transfer station in Long Island City receives it, under the licenses printed at the bottom of this page.
  4. The fuel
    It leaves as biodiesel feedstock. Your fryer oil ends up in a fuel tank.

Why a hauler with its own station matters

Most haulers pay someone else to take the waste. We are where the waste goes.

  • The chain of custody stops with us. One name on the manifest, start to finish.
  • No disposal middleman, no out-of-city miles on your bill.
  • Documentation an inspector recognizes, produced by the licensed endpoint itself.
  • Used cooking oil has value as fuel. That's what lets us provide containers free to volume and contract accounts.

The recycling side of the family

A&L Recycling is the transfer-station side of the family business. Same yard, same dispatch, same three generations. The leaf is on the trucks that run the grease route.

FAQs

What happens to the grease?

It's processed into biodiesel feedstock.

Can I drop oil off myself?

The route comes to you. If you've got a one-off amount, seal the container and call dispatch.

Is this why the containers can be free?

Yes. The oil has value as feedstock, which is what lets us provide containers and scheduled pickups free to volume and contract accounts.
