Used cooking oil disposal is a common complication most restaurants face. However, used cooking oil can be recycled, and partnering with a recycler makes disposal easy. Darling Ingredients Canada’s used cooking oil recycling services and containers make collection simple.
Here’s what goes into making a high-quality outdoor used cooking oil bin.
What is an Outdoor Used Cooking Oil Bin?
If you’ve been around our site for a while you’ll notice we care a lot about used cooking oil and how to collect it. Our used cooking oil containers are the best on the market. We offer automated systems, but we also offer a high quality easy-to-use outdoor bin.
Outdoor used cooking oil bins have been a staple in the food service industry for a long time. They’re used to store used cooking oil until it’s ready to be recycled. Without them, many kitchens would be clogging their plumbing and breaking the law.
How Do Outdoor Used Cooking Oil Bins Work?
When fryer oil gets old and needs replacing, that oil needs to be removed from the fryer. The disposal ports on fryers are used to remove oil and put it in a bucket or a safe form of transportation. The oil then needs to be carried to the outdoor bin.
Outdoor used cooking oil bins require a manual way to transport the oil. However, this process can be replaced with an automated system or improved upon by receiving a high-quality outdoor bin.
Do I Need an Outdoor Bin?
It depends. You don’t need an outdoor bin, but it might be the only option for your kitchen layout. If your kitchen has the space, you can choose an automated used cooking oil system that takes the manual labor out of used cooking oil management.
Darling Ingredients Canada has several automated systems that are installed either inside your kitchen or just outside. Get in contact and learn how we ease your used cooking oil troubles.
Receive a High-Quality Bin From Darling
The difference between having a low-quality outdoor bin and a high-quality bin that works is night and day. Stop fighting your used cooking oil containers and get one that works for you.
Darling Ingredients Canada offers the outdoor bin that grease thieves hate. Most kitchens are eligible to receive their outdoor bin without any additional cost to them and once you get yours, we’ll set up a pickup schedule that matches your kitchen’s needs.
Parts of a Quality Outdoor Bin
Your used cooking oil bin needs to be durable and well-built. If it’s not, it’s easy for grease thieves to break in and cause damage. Here are some things you should be looking for when searching for that right-fit used cooking oil bin.
Strong Build
A strongly-built bin will be constructed with high-quality materials. This includes reinforced metal instead of flimsy plastic.
Most waste receptacles are built with plastic lids that are easily broken. They won’t hold up over time. Outdoor bins that have a complete metal construction will last longer.
Anti-theft Technology
Grease theft is on the rise. It puts your property and employees in danger. Used cooking oil bins should feature anti-theft technology that keeps your used cooking oil safe.
Our outdoor bin features a large grate that covers the oil and makes extraction difficult for people without the proper technology. The harder it is for a grease thief to break into your bin, the better.
Closes Tight
When large quantities of grease are spilled or even open to the air, it can start to smell bad. Even if the container is in the back, the smell can deter customers from shopping at your store.
You need a container with a tight-closing lid to avoid any smells from getting out. This will also help keep the oil in the container and keep the surrounding area clean.
Integrates With a Used Cooking Oil Recycler
You could buy your own cooking oil container and use your own time to transport and recycle your used cooking oil. However, partnering with a used cooking oil collector who also provides containers at no additional cost is the best option.
Whether you’re building a new restaurant or looking for a better way to manage your used cooking oil, consider partnering with Darling Ingredients Canada. We’re the leading used cooking oil collector and manufacturer of used cooking oil containers. Start the process to find the best container for your kitchen!
