How pickup works

Four steps, start to finish

From your first call to your service receipt, here's what to expect.

STEP 1

Tell us what you have

Call us or send the form. We'll need your location, what you want collected and roughly how much you have.

STEP 2

We schedule your pickup

We'll give you an ETA and schedule the first available pickup in your area. If it's urgent, tell us. Next-day pickup is often possible.

STEP 3

Our driver handles the pickup

A UES driver arrives in a UES truck to pump, load and haul your material.

STEP 4

You get the receipt

Your driver records the pickup at the time of service. We email you a receipt and store a digital copy so you can access past pickups when you need them.

Documentation & compliance

If an inspector asks where your oil went, you can show them

Every used oil pickup is documented. We give you the records you need to track what was collected, when it was collected and who transported it.

  • A receipt at every pickup, emailed at the time of service, with a digital copy stored so you can pull it up any time
  • Your full service history in the customer portal, with the transporter EPA ID number, quantity, date and time
  • Safety Data Sheets and Certificates of Insurance, available in the portal
  • A $20M blanket insurance policy protecting your oil while it's on our truck
  • Member of Enfinite, the Industrial Liquid Recycling Association, and ILMA, the Independent Lubricants Manufacturers Association

Our re-refinery

We re-refine what we collect

Used oil collected by UES goes to our re-refinery in Peachtree City, Georgia. Most is processed into base oil for new lubricants. Oil that isn't suitable for re-refining is used as fuel oil for industrial plants.

Contaminants removed during the process are captured and recycled into an asphalt compound.
