## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-16 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Restaurant waste isn't one contract - it's usually four (trash/recycling, organics, used cooking oil, grease trap). Here's who I'd actually call, in order.
> 
> ## Start here: the grease side (this is where money and plumbing disasters live)
> 
> **1. DAR PRO Solutions** - My first call for used cooking oil. Nationwide, they own the rendering/processing end (Darling Ingredients), so they pay for your oil rather than charging for pickup, and they'll bundle grease trap service with it. Owning the whole chain means fewer missed pickups than brokered oil collectors. [darpro-solutions.com/our-services](https://darpro-solutions.com/our-services)
> 
> **2. Mahoney Environmental** - The alternative, and often better in big metros (LA, Vegas, Chicago). In business since 1953, coast-to-coast, and they also control the full process from equipment setup through processing. Get quotes from both - oil rebate rates are negotiable and vary a lot by market.

> A note on these: never sign a long oil contract with an auto-renew clause. Rebates track commodit
