Waste Vegetable Oil Removal & Collection

Footprint Recycling is Humboldt County's only locally owned and operated WVO collection agency. We provide clients with a clean and aesthetic container for storage of used WVO, and service the container regularly or on demand, to meet your business needs.

Footprint Provides WVO collection services to over 100 businesses from Mendocino to Southern Oregon. We understand that each of our clients have unique needs, and we have customized our business plan to accomodate everyone. Because it is essential to our recycling operations that we collect clean oil with a minimum of contaminants, we provide our clients with a storage container at no cost.

Collection schedules are negotiable and flexible. Footprint Recycling employs a dedicated staff who are considerate of your business needs.
