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.
Our Used Cooking Oil Collection Services in Auckland
Full Drum provides four integrated services built around the complete cooking oil lifecycle.
Used Cooking Oil Collection for Restaurants and Cafés
Our standard used cooking oil collection service is designed for independent restaurants, cafés, Asian takeaways, fish and chip shops, and food trucks producing between 20 and 500 litres of UCO per week. We supply a sealed 44-gallon collection drum, schedule proactive pickups, and never leave you managing an overflowing container.
High-Volume UCO and Kitchen Fat Collection for Food Factories
FreshDrum — Clean Frying Oil Delivered to Your Kitchen
Through the FreshDrum service, Full Drum delivers premium filtered frying oil to your kitchen on the same run as your UCO collection. Used oil out, clean oil in — one partner, one invoice, zero hassle.
How Our Used Cooking Oil Collection Service Works — Step by Step
Proactive Scheduling — No More Overflowing Containers
Most cooking oil collection services in Auckland wait for you to call. Full Drum works differently. Our proprietary routing software monitors collection history across our entire client network and predicts when your drum will next be full. We schedule the pickup before you need to think about it.
Step-by-Step: From Free Assessment to First Pickup
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.
