Pennsylvania’s restaurants and breweries span from the urban food and brew scene in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to the emerging dining and craft brewing scene of the Lehigh Valley, Lancaster County, Erie, and Scranton, as local breweries bring their own flair to the state’s evolving food and beer scene.

There are more than 400 craft breweries in the state, and many have full kitchens, in addition to brewing, which generate considerable fryer oil.  State and municipal regulations mandate that restaurants and breweries in Pennsylvania dispose of grease in accordance with environmental regulations, and the right collection partner will help you ensure you’re compliant while also providing a recurring rebate income from used cooking oil. If you’re a restaurant or brewery looking to collect used cooking oil in Pennsylvania, this post outlines the best collection services that are available.

 A Note for Pennsylvania Breweries

The craft brewery sector in Pennsylvania is one of the most dynamic in the nation, and numerous brewery taprooms are now running full commercial kitchens with large amounts of used cooking oil from the fried food menus. UCO collection requirements are the same for brewery kitchens as they are for restaurants. 

Brewery owners should make sure the collection company their company uses is licensed to collect PA commercial grease and that they provide documentation of collection at each pick-up and provide the proper size containers for collecting the amount of grease produced by the fryers in their restaurant, not residential kitchens. This assists breweries to have a streamlined used cooking oil collection without having to slow down operations in the taproom and/or kitchen.
