Schedule Your Free PickupEvery commercial kitchen in Nanaimo produces waste cooking oil. Pouring it down the drain causes blocked pipes and costly plumbing repairs, and sending it to landfill wastes a resource that still has value.
We have collected waste cooking oil across Vancouver Island since 2017. Our trucks reach Nanaimo and the surrounding communities on a regular schedule, so your kitchen stays clean and your oil becomes something useful.
