 Health department ease through the use of our Interactive web site that keeps track of your trap cleaning records!  

Charles Environmental has a team of experienced and professional personnel who understand how to handle used cooking oil. Not only that, but we have streamlined our process to ensure we fit seamlessly into your daily operations. This means we won’t interfere with your business operations. As a result, you won’t experience any downtime because of us. Here are the core services we offer to help you run your restaurant at optimal efficiency:

While many foodservice facilities assign their staff to remove and dispose of used cooking oil, that’s not the ideal situation. Worse still, others throw it in a dumpster (not you, of course). Harmless as it may seem, used cooking oil is both a health and environmental hazard. As such, you need to outsource its disposal to trained professionals. 

Entrusting Charles Environmental with your used oil collection and disposal is the best way to guarantee that your grease is removed. And that’s regardless of holidays and in-house staff issues such as turnover, vacations, or illness. What’s more, you can have peace of mind knowing that Charles Environmental will perform the job like clockwork - ensuring that there’s never too much used oil (or sludge) in your kitchen. All this is done to regulatory specifications, resulting in you being in your local health department’s good books.

Not only do we collect all types of used cooking oil, but we also provide the most secure units in the industry. Our used oil containers are designed and manufactured to prevent odor, theft, and accidental spills. Before we install the tanks, we conduct a thorough assessment of your kitchen and its operations. This allows us to provide you with a collection tank that matches your frying volume and workflow. As for the used cooking oil collection, we can collect on an on-call basis or settle on a schedule that best suits you.

One of the major factors that contribute to unsanitary kitchens is improper grease trap maintenance. This not only creates an unsanitary work environment but can also disrupt your kitchen operations as well as result in regulatory sanctions. We ensure your grease traps are always clean and hygienic by evaluating the specifications of your interceptor. The next step is to design a schedule to inspect, clean, and maintain your equipment. We can even design a customized service window that complies with local regulations and also avoids peak food service periods. This way, you’ll please both your customers and the local sanitation department.

What happens to the grease we remove from your grease trap?

No, we don’t just dump it somewhere. Our team is trained to handle hazardous waste and they transport it to an approved disposal facility. We make sure to document everything too. From the date, time, and amount of grease collected from your trap or interceptor, we record everything on the hauler manifest. We also make sure to leave you a copy of the records.

Oil and grease spills are inevitable in any kitchen - especially when you deep fry. Unfortunately, they make it difficult to maintain a productive and safe work environment. Besides the safety concerns, the greasy buildup also attracts dirt and grime. As you know, this makes your establishment less desirable - especially aesthetically. Our power-washing service is complimentary for our recycling partners. In addition to collecting your used oil and cleaning your grease traps, we’ll wash the exterior portions of your grease collection tanks as well as adjacent surfaces like floors and sidewalks. We believe this service is instrumental in helping reduce the risk of pest infestations (as well as reducing the risk of injury, of course).

Leaving all these tasks to your staff members is taking risks with your business. By outsourcing to professionals, you ensure that the job is perfectly done - and that in compliance with regulations governing bio-waste. So if you need help with used cooking oil removal, grease trap cleaning, and power washing, go ahead and get in touch.
