Professional Used Cooking Oil Collection Across Auckland and the Entire North & South Island
Full Drum Ltd has provided used cooking oil collection across Auckland and all of New Zealand — the North and South Island since 2008.
What Is Used Cooking Oil Collection — And Why Does Your Business Need It?
Used cooking oil collection is the professional removal and responsible recycling of spent frying oil and kitchen fat from commercial kitchens. In New Zealand, waste cooking oil cannot legally enter stormwater drains or general rubbish — incorrect recycling risks drain blockages, environmental fines, and failed health inspections.

How Our Used Cooking Oil Collection Service Works — Step by Step
Free Container Assessment at Your Kitchen
We visit your premises at no cost, assess your weekly UCO output, and recommend the right container size and collection frequency. No obligation, no sales pressure.
Collection Drum Installation (Same Week)
We deliver and install a sealed 44-gallon collection drum at a location that suits your kitchen layout. Most installations happen within the same week as your assessment.
Proactive Scheduling via Our Routing Software
Our routing software monitors used cooking oil collection data across all clients and schedules your pickup before your drum is full. You do not manage dates or make calls.
Oil and Fat Collected and Repurposed for Industrial Use
Your driver collects the drum, swaps it for a clean one, and your UCO and kitchen fat are transported directly to a certified processing facility. Every litre is recycled of responsibly and accounted for.
