Business Description
A Truly Rare Opportunity to Acquire a Unique, High Margin Business with potential to exceed $45k+ a month in net profit.
Business Overview
This waste?cooking?oil collection and recycling business is built on a clean, simple, and highly profitable model. For decades, the industry has proven to be recession?resistant, environmentally essential, and supported by strong, stable demand from biodiesel and ethanol refineries
The business collects used cooking oil from restaurants and food?service establishments at no cost to the customer and sells the recovered oil to refineries for $2.90–$3.20 per gallon, generating exceptional margins with minimal overhead.
Scalable and Profitable
This operation is designed for scalability, efficiency, and recurring revenue. Customers receive free containers and scheduled pickups, ensuring compliance with local regulations. Used cooking oil (UCO) is non?hazardous, non?toxic, non?flammable, and easy to handle, making daily operations straightforward and safe.
.Key Highlights

- High?margin revenue: Stable market rates with minimal price fluctuation.
- Recurring income: Weekly or bi?weekly pickups create predictable, dependable revenue.
- Minimal staffing: Business operates efficiently with just 3 employees.

- Environmental impact:
Every gallon collected produces 1.33 gallons of biodiesel or ethanol—reducing waste, supporting renewable fuel production, and contributing to sustainability goals
Operational Strengths
- Simple, single?product operation with streamlined accounting and no complex inventory.
- Clean, compliant service that restaurants rely on and genuinely appreciate
- No transportation costs: Refineries pick up the oil at no charge.

Key responsibilities include:
- Directing employees responsible for oil collection, account acquisition, and maintaining restaurant relationships
- Coordinating daily service schedules
