Auckland's Cooking Oil Collection Specialists — 18 Years Serving All of New Zealand — the North & South Island
Full Drum Ltd is Auckland's dedicated cooking oil collection company.
Who We Are — Auckland's Cooking Oil Collection Company Since 2008
Founded: 2008 — 18 Years of Continuous Operation
Full Drum was founded in 2008 with one purpose: to provide reliable, professional cooking oil collection for Auckland's commercial kitchens. In 18 years, we have never missed a scheduled pickup. That record is the result of investing in our own routing software, growing our own driver network, and staying close to the clients who depend on us.
Location: 9 Lorien Place, East Tamaki, Auckland 2013
We operate from 9 Lorien Place, East Tamaki — the only cooking oil collection company physically based in East Tamaki. Our drivers are already close to the suburbs and industrial precincts we service every day.
Territory: Auckland and the Entire North & South Island — South Island Expansion Underway
Full Drum services all of Auckland and all of New Zealand — the North and South Island — from Whangarei to Wellington, including Hamilton, Tauranga, Palmerston North, Napier, New Plymouth, and every region in between. If your kitchen is anywhere in New Zealand, Full Drum can collect your waste cooking oil and kitchen fat.
Based in East Tamaki — The Only Cooking Oil Collector with a Local Address
When you call Full Drum, you speak to someone who works from East Tamaki, drives from East Tamaki, and knows Auckland's roads firsthand. Every suburb we service is covered by drivers who already know the route.
18 Years Without Missing a Pickup
How We Are Different — The Full Drum Advantage
Proactive Scheduling — We Schedule Before You Need to Call
Most cooking oil collection services in Auckland operate reactively — they come when you call. Full Drum operates proactively. Our routing software monitors fill-rate patterns and schedules your pickup before your drum reaches capacity. You do not manage collection dates. You do not chase a driver.
Our Values — Reliability, Local Accountability, and Responsible Recycling
Kiwi-Owned — No Franchise Layers Between You and the Decision-Maker
Full Drum is 100% Kiwi-owned. There are no franchise layers, no offshore call centres, and no national head office making decisions about your service. When something needs to change, you speak directly to the people who own the routes. We built Full Drum on three commitments: reliability you can set your calendar by, responsible recycling you can document, and local accountability that no national franchise can match.
