Safely recycling millions of Litres of used cooking oil every year In Red Deer, Alberta
Get peace of mind knowing your used cooking oil is being collected and recycled in an environmentally responsible way. If you operate a restaurant, commercial cooking service, or have used cooking oil in Red Deer, we can help you make an impact.
How It Works
If it’s not properly treated, used cooking oil can clog sewer systems, pollute waterways, and contaminate landfills.
1. Schedule
Our dispatch program makes sure oil gets picked up on a timely, reliable schedule in Red Deer, Alberta. We have available internal storage, durable containers, locks, and keys to store your used cooking oil between pick-ups.
2. Collect
Most restaurants use non-hydrogenated vegetable oils for deep frying. They stay liquid and can be collected with a vacuum pump. But fat and grease drippings turn into a gel or solidify at room temperatures. We’re equipped to collect both kinds safely and efficiently, no matter the temperature or weather.
3. Clean and Convert
Once we take the oil to our facilities, we test it to make sure it's free of chemical contamination. Then we sterilize it in special tanks and run it through a high-speed centrifuge to remove food solids or sediment. The end result gets used as an ingredient in feed and in biodiesel production.
“Redux is very accommodating with their regular and emergency services. When cooking oil pick-up is needed ahead of our regular schedule date, Redux makes it happen.”
Franchisee owner, Wendy's Restaurants
