GreaseGiant gives DC restaurants one company for both sides of grease: used cooking oil pickup that pays you, and grease trap cleaning that satisfies the DC Water FOG program and DOEE hauler rules. From the 14th Street corridor to Capitol Hill, it's one truck relationship, one invoice, and one number to call.
One company for fryer oil and grease traps in DC
DC's restaurant corridors are dense, fast, and heavily inspected. We build service around that — discreet, on-schedule, and fully documented.
Used cooking oil pickup in Washington, DC
Clean fryer oil is yellow grease, and we pay DC restaurants market rates by the pound for it. Locked, monitored containers keep your oil from being siphoned overnight, and automated scheduling means pickups happen before your tank overflows onto a tight back alley. How UCO collection works →
Grease trap cleaning & DC Water FOG rules
The program is run by DC Water, with hauler licensing through DOEE. A trap backup or a missing manifest during an inspection gets expensive fast. How grease trap service works →

Frequently asked questions
What are the DC grease trap rules for restaurants?
In Washington DC, food service establishments must maintain a grease interceptor under the DC Plumbing Code, register through DC Water's online FOG BMP portal, and use a hauler licensed by the Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE). You must keep waste manifests on site for at least three years (21 DCMR, Title 21, Chapter 15). GreaseGiant is licensed, leaves a manifest every visit, and keeps your records inspection-ready.
Do you pay DC restaurants for used cooking oil?
Yes — we pay market rates by the pound for clean fryer oil and provide locked containers. In dense corridors like U Street and Adams Morgan, locked containers also stop grease theft. See how UCO pickup works.
