Get Paid for Your Used Cooking Oil
Your used cooking oil is worth money. It's turned into biodiesel, so we pay you for every litre we collect, in cash, on the day we collect it. We deliver free barrels and email your waste transfer note after every visit.

Get free barrels
We drop off clean, sealed barrels from 60 to 120 litres, or collect your oil in the drums it came in.
Get paid in cash
We collect your oil and pay you cash for every litre on the day. Your waste transfer note is emailed after every visit.
What affects how much you're paid
How much oil you have
You're paid for every litre we collect, so the more oil you fill, the more you get.
How clean your oil is
Clean oil is worth more. Water, food bits and other rubbish have to be removed before the oil can become fuel.
The market
Rates follow the market for biodiesel, so they move over time. We'll tell you the current rate for your volume when we call.
Simple ways to get more for your oil
- Let oil cool before you pour it into the barrel.
- Sieve out food bits and batter as you go.
- Keep the lid on so rain and water stay out.
- Never mix in water, washing-up liquid or other waste.
