  • Can you pour oil down the drain?

    No. NEVER pour used cooking oil down the drain! Hot, used cooking oil might seem like a liquid substance, but it quickly hardens in your pipes when it dries. It will stick to the inside of pipes and drains, which causes plumbing issues. Instead, contact Core Biofuels for used cooking oil collection in Albuquerque, NM.

  • Should you throw oil away?

    No. This is as bad for the environment as pouring used cooking oil down the drain. The oil will eventually end up in a landfill or elsewhere and cause irreversible environmental issues. If you need used cooking oil collection in Albuquerque, NM, give us a call!

  • How is my used cooking oil picked up?

    Core BioFuels services the bins we provide, based on your container capacity and expected volume of used cooking oil disposed on your property. To learn more about used cooking oil collection in Albuquerque, NM, contact us today.

  • May I recycle other types of oil with the used cooking oil?

    Do NOT combine motor oil, other waste oil, or grease with cooking oil. Motor oil will contaminate the cooking oil, so it cannot be recycled. Contact us for used cooking oil collection in Albuquerque, NM!

  • Do you charge my business to recycle used cooking oil?

    No, there is no charge. We provide a clean receptacle for you to place your used cooking oil on your property. We maintain the cleanliness of our bins and ensure that we pick up your used cooking oil well before the bin gets full.

  • What do you do with the used cooking oil so that it doesn’t impact the environment?

  • Can you clean my grease trap too?

    No. We do not have the equipment or licensing to work on your facility’s grease traps. There are specific local laws about handling waste from grease traps, so make sure you follow the codes in your area. If you need a certified company to work on your grease traps, let us know and we will be happy to refer the best company for your needs.

  • Can I bring my used oil to your business to recycle?

    Our service teams are on a constant schedule across our service area, so we do not have staff manning our recycling facility.
