How Our Used Cooking Oil Collection Service Works

At Quatra, we make waste oil disposal simple and stress-free, allowing you to focus on running your business. Here's how it works: 

1. 
Schedule Your Free Collection

Fill in our collection request form on our website or give us a call and we’ll get things moving.

2. 
We Collect, You Carry On

Our driver collects your used cooking oil, and swaps in clean containers, all with zero disruption to your 
kitchen

3. 
You Get Paid & Stay Compliant

You’ll get an email after each pickup with your collection note, volume collected, and payment, so you can keep everything on record.

What Happens to Your Used Cooking Oil? 

All collected cooking oil is processed at our future-proof, energy-efficient recycling plant. The oil is filtered and transformed into UCO feedstock, a key ingredient for biodiesel (HVO) and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Even frying residues are converted into biogas, a renewable fuel source.

These biofuels can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 87% compared to fossil fuels.
