Used cooking oil collection is a scheduled service that removes spent frying oil and kitchen fat from a commercial kitchen and sends it to a certified processing facility for recycling. Auckland restaurants need it because used oil cannot go down the drain or into general waste under trade waste rules. ### How does Full Drum schedule used cooking oil pickups in Auckland? Full Drum uses proprietary routing software that monitors your collection history and predicts when your drum will be full. Pickups are scheduled proactively — before your container reaches capacity. You do not need to call us to arrange a collection. ### What types of business qualify for UCO collection services? We service restaurants, cafés, Asian takeaways, fish and chip shops, fast food outlets, food trucks, canteens, supermarket delis, food processing factories, and large-volume corporate kitchen operations across Auckland and all of New Zealand — the North and South Island. ### What happens to my cooking oil after it is collected? Every litre of used cooking oil and kitchen fat collected by Full Drum is transported to a certified processing facility. Your collection certificate documents exactly what happened to your oil and fat after pickup. ### Can I also receive clean frying oil deliveries through FreshDrum? Yes.
