Kitchen Waste Solutions That Actually Work
From cooking oil collection to emergency drain clearing — one trusted partner handles it all.
Used Cooking Oil Collection
Stop paying to throw away something valuable. Your used fryer oil is worth money - and we'll prove it with every pickup.
Here's the Deal
Most restaurant owners don't realize their used cooking oil has real value. While you're focused on running your business, that waste oil sitting in your kitchen is actually a commodity. It gets refined into renewable biodiesel, and companies pay good money for it.
That's where we come in. We provide the container, pick up on your schedule, and cut you a check. No hidden fees, no complicated contracts, no corporate runaround.
What You Get
Free containers — We provide and maintain all collection equipment at no cost
Flexible scheduling — Weekly, bi-weekly, or on-call pickups based on your volume
Competitive rebates — Real money for every gallon, paid consistently
Reliable service — GPS-tracked trucks and pickup confirmation every time
Spill cleanup — If we make a mess (rare), we clean it up on the spot
Container Options
We'll recommend the right size based on your volume:
55-gallon drums — Perfect for smaller operations
150-250 gallon tanks — Ideal for mid-volume restaurants
500+ gallon tanks — For high-volume fryers and food production
Most setups completed within 48 hours
Grease Trap Pumping
A clogged grease trap isn't just an inconvenience — it's a health violation waiting to happen. We keep you compliant and flowing.
Why It Matters
Your grease trap is the unsung hero of your plumbing. It catches fats, oils, and grease before they hit the sewer system. But when it fills up, problems cascade fast: slow drains, foul odors, backups, and worst of all — fines from the health department.
Regular pumping isn't optional. It's essential. And with Greenway, it's effortless.
Our Process
Scheduled maintenance — We track your pumping schedule so you never have to think about it
Complete evacuation — We pump the entire trap, not just skim the top layer
Wall scraping — Built-up grease on the walls? We get that too
Compliance documentation — Manifests and records for health inspections
Environmentally responsible disposal — Proper handling at licensed facilities
How Often Should You Pump?
Most municipalities require pumping when your trap reaches 25% capacity. For typical restaurants, that means:
High-volume fryers: Every 30-60 days
Standard kitchens: Every 60-90 days
Light cooking: Quarterly or as needed
Hydro Jetting
When plungers and drain snakes can't cut it, high-pressure water does. This is the heavy artillery for serious blockages.
The Nuclear Option for Clogged Drains
Hydro jetting uses water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI to blast through grease, scale, roots, and years of accumulated gunk. It doesn't just punch a hole through the blockage — it scours the entire pipe wall clean.
The result? Pipes that flow like new, not just "good enough for now."
When You Need Hydro Jetting
Recurring clogs — If the same drain keeps backing up, there's buildup that needs blasting
Slow drains throughout the kitchen — Often indicates main line issues
Before grease trap pumping — Clears the lines leading to and from your trap
Preventive maintenance — Annual jetting keeps problems from starting
After a backup — Removes the residue that caused the problem
Safe for Your Pipes
Despite the high pressure, hydro jetting is actually gentler on your plumbing than mechanical snaking. Water doesn't scratch or score pipe walls, and there's no risk of a snake tip breaking off inside your system.
Commercial Hood Cleaning
Grease-laden exhaust systems are fire hazards — and fire marshals know it. Stay compliant, stay safe, stay open.
More Than Just Cleaning
Commercial kitchen fires cause billions in damages every year, and grease buildup in exhaust systems is a leading cause. Regular hood cleaning isn't just about passing inspections — it's about protecting your business, your staff, and your customers.
What We Clean
Hood canopy and filters — Where grease first collects
Exhaust ductwork — The hidden pathway where grease accumulates
Exhaust fans — Often neglected, always critical
Rooftop units — Complete top-to-bottom service
Compliance & Documentation
Every cleaning includes:
Before and after photos
Detailed service report
Sticker certification with service date
Recommendations for next cleaning
When the fire marshal asks for your records, you'll have them.
Cleaning Frequency
NFPA 96 guidelines recommend:
High-volume cooking (24-hour, charbroiling): Monthly
Moderate-volume cooking: Quarterly
Low-volume cooking: Semi-annually
How much do you pay for used cooking oil?
Rates vary based on market conditions and volume, but we consistently offer competitive rebates. The best way to get your exact rate is to call for a quote. What we can promise: transparency and consistency.
How quickly can you set me up?
Most new customers have a container delivered within 48 hours. For grease trap or hood cleaning, we can usually schedule within the week.
What happens to the used oil?
It's refined into renewable biodiesel — clean-burning fuel that reduces emissions by up to 86% compared to petroleum diesel. Your waste becomes green energy.
Do I need a contract?
No. We earn your business every pickup. If you're not happy, you can cancel anytime. That said, most customers stay with us for years because we actually deliver on our promises.
What areas do you service?
All of Southern California: Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Imperial counties. If you're not sure, just ask.
What if I have an emergency?
We offer emergency response for existing customers. Grease trap backup on a Friday night? Call us. We understand that restaurant problems don't wait for business hours.
