National companies route Lynchburg as an afterthought between Richmond and Roanoke. Our drivers know Concord Turnpike entrances and downtown alley access. Liberty University’s dining hall runs 12 fryers; we’ve never missed their twice weekly schedule in four years. You call our local number and reach our technicians, not a call center.

Grease Trap Cleaning Prevents Disasters
Overflowing traps cost thousands in emergency plumbing and lost business. We pump traps before they hit the 25% violation threshold. We’ve cleaned 40 year old traps in Daniels Hill buildings and modern University of Lynchburg installations. Low profile equipment fits basement locations. Bundle trap cleaning with oil collection for one invoice. Same local team, same reliable schedule. Prevent the $3,000 emergency by maintaining traps properly.
Your Schedule Drives Our Routes
We collect everyday of the week, especially when Lynchburg restaurants need it during high volume season. Early 6 a.m. pickups happen before line cooks arrive. Late 10 p.m. service works after downtown dinner rush. You pick the frequency; weekly, biweekly, or monthly. We commit to 48-hour service windows and respond same-day for emergencies. Richmond companies make you wait 7 to 10 days. We run dedicated Central Virginia routes everyday. Your pickup happens when you want it, not when convenient for us.
From Fryer to Fuel in 48 Hours
Your oil becomes biodiesel at processing facilities. This renewable fuel powers Lynchburg municipal vehicles and reduces emissions 86% versus petroleum diesel. We don’t ship oil overseas like national haulers. The biodiesel from one restaurant’s monthly oil fuels a truck for 200 miles. You’re creating clean energy for Central Virginia, not waste.
