Free pickup
Used cooking oil collection.
Free pickup, CalRecycle-compliant, scheduled to your kitchen.
Used cooking oil is a commodity, not just waste. California Health & Safety Code §118945 prohibits disposing of it in drains, trash, or on the ground — and LA County requires a CalRecycle-registered hauler with 3-year manifest retention. Boh handles the pickup, the manifest archive, and (where volume qualifies) the rebate.

Compliance obligation and revenue opportunity
Used oil is a regulated waste stream with a commodity value. The same pickup that satisfies California Health & Safety Code can return cash to your restaurant when the oil is clean and the volume is right.
Compliance
Registered hauler + 3-year manifest archive
California Health & Safety Code §118945 prohibits disposing of used cooking oil in drains, trash, or on the ground. LA County requires a CalRecycle-registered hauler specifically, with collection manifests retained for 3 years. Manifests from unregistered haulers don’t satisfy the recordkeeping requirement. Violations carry fines up to $10,000 per incident.
Revenue
Rebate when volume and quality qualify
Used cooking oil qualifies as biodiesel feedstock. High-volume live-fire kitchens often generate sufficient clean oil to earn a per-gallon rebate from the hauler. Contaminated or water-heavy oil typically generates no payment — proper storage and weekly pickup are what keep the oil clean enough to qualify.
