A Message to Blacksburg’s Restaurant Community
A busy festival weekend in downtown Roanoke shouldn’t derail your kitchen’s workflow. But when your used oil container is overflowing and your hauler is a no-show, it does.
My name is Dylan Gehrken, and I founded Greasecycle in 2009 because I saw hardworking chefs and restaurant owners dealing with national waste companies that simply didn’t understand the unique rhythm of a city like Roanoke. I believe you deserve a partner, not just another vendor. We built our service to solve the real-world problems you face every day.

We Don’t Just Collect Your Oil We Protect Your Business
The old way of handling used cooking oil is a liability waiting to happen. I’ve seen firsthand how staff members risk severe burns and back injuries lifting heavy, hot grease bins. Those spills create slip hazards that can lead to insurance claims and downtime you can’t afford.
Our process is designed to eliminate that risk from day one.
- The Right Equipment, At No Cost: My team will deliver a professional-grade, weather-resistant storage container to your kitchen at no cost. We provide this to you for free because having the right tool for the job isn’t an upgrade; it’s a necessity.
- A Schedule That Works For You: You have enough to manage without chasing down a pickup. We monitor your oil volume and build a reliable collection schedule so you never have to think about it. When my team arrives, they are quick, clean, and professional, ensuring your operation is never disrupted.
- Guaranteed Peace of Mind: After every service, we provide a digital manifest. When the Montgomery County health inspector walks in, you can hand them a perfect record of compliant grease disposal. That’s not just a service that’s security.
Our Partnership with Virginia Tech and the NRV
You can’t serve Roanoke without understanding the demands of its landmark institutions. We learned that lesson years ago. After a thorough review of their complex needs, The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center chose us. We mastered their high volume logistics, from handling major convention weeks to the steady pace of their renowned restaurants. That experience now benefits every client we serve.
When venues near the Berglund Center need extra service during a big event, they get it. When a new bistro on Market Street needs a compact container for a tight alley space, we have it. This isn’t just business; it’s our community.
A Word From Our Founder
“We’re not a franchise or a branch of a distant corporation. We are a Virginia based business, and my reputation is built on the promises we keep. When you partner with us, you’re working with a team that is personally invested in your success. We succeed when you succeed.”
Stop Paying for a Service That Should Be Paying You
Your used cooking oil is a valuable commodity, not trash. It’s recycled into clean burning biodiesel that reduces our region’s carbon footprint. We believe you deserve to share in that value.
Instead of sending you a bill, we send you a check. Every 90 days, you receive a rebate for the oil we collect. This creates a new, hassle-free revenue stream that can offset other costs in your budget.
