A Partner for Hickory’s Hardworking Kitchens
A Message from Our Founder
My name is Dylan Gehrken. I founded Greasecycle in 2009 as a family business dedicated to serving North Carolina’s restaurants. Here in Hickory, that means understanding the unique rhythm of Catawba County from the bustling furniture district to the seasonal spots on Lake Hickory. Missed pickups and overflowing bins aren’t just messy; they’re a threat to your business. My promise is a reliable, local partnership that protects your kitchen, eliminates headaches, and turns your waste oil into a new source of revenue.
Dylan, Founder & President
Solving the Problems Your Current Hauler Creates
Unreliable service is costing you money. Missed pickups lead to messy, unsafe conditions that attract pests and risk health code violations. Unsecured bins invite grease theft, robbing you of valuable oil. National call centers leave you waiting for days when you have an emergency.
My team solves these problems. We run fixed Hickory routes from our local Charlotte and Winston Salem hubs. Our secure, lockable containers stop theft completely. When you call, you reach a local expert who can dispatch same day emergency service.
Our Process: Simple, Reliable, and Profitable
Our partnership is designed for your peace of mind.
- Free, Fast Setup: We assess your needs and install the perfect-sized, free container within 48 hours.
- Automated, Clean Pickups: My uniformed technicians arrive on your schedule—weekly, biweekly, or monthly. They handle everything efficiently and leave your site spotless.
- Get Paid, Guaranteed: We weigh your oil on certified scales and send you a detailed statement with a check every quarter.
It’s a seamless process that lets you focus on your food.
A Complete Grease Management Solution
Your compliance needs go beyond just used oil. Catawba County requires regular grease trap pumping to prevent costly sewer blockages and fines. We bundle this essential service with your oil collection. One truck, one driver, and one invoice handle your entire FOG program. This integrated approach simplifies your vendor management and ensures you pass every health inspection, every time.
A North Carolina Company, Built on Trust
We’ve earned the loyalty of over 6,500 restaurants since 2009 because we deliver on our promises. We have recycled 23 million gallons of oil, preventing over 80,000 tons of CO2 emissions. This is more than a business; it’s our commitment to supporting North Carolina’s economy and protecting our environment. When you partner with us, you partner with a proven local leader who is invested in your success.
A Word From Our Founder
“I built this company on a simple promise: be the partner I’d want for my own business. That means real people answering the phone, showing up on time, and being personally accountable for your success. We’re a North Carolina family, serving North Carolina families.”
