Used Cooking Oil Collection in Islington (N1)
Free used cooking oil collection in Islington — serving Upper Street restaurants, Angel eateries and Clerkenwell kitchens. Paid by volume, containers supplied, paperwork handled.
Few parts of London pack in as many restaurants per square mile as Islington. Upper Street alone is one of the capital's densest dining strips, and with Angel, Highbury and neighbouring Clerkenwell added in, the area's kitchens generate a steady stream of used cooking oil. Cash-4-Waste Oil collects it for free and pays you for every litre.
Areas we cover in Islington
Angel and Upper Street (N1), Highbury and Highbury Fields (N5), Holloway (N7), Canonbury, Barnsbury, and the Clerkenwell/Exmouth Market edge (EC1).
Who we collect from
The independent restaurants and bistros along Upper Street, gastropubs, brunch and coffee spots, takeaways and dark kitchens, and members' and event venues. We supply sealed storage containers so oil is stored tidily between visits, and we provide the waste transfer note every food business is legally required to keep.
How often can you collect on Upper Street?
As often as you need — weekly, fortnightly or on-demand. For high-volume Upper Street and Angel kitchens we can set a fixed schedule so your drums are never overflowing.
