Black Bear Biodiesel

FAQs

Do you service my area?

We service all of Vermont and some of neighboring New Hampshire and New York.

Do you provide a container?

Yes, we have a myriad of options ranging from 45-300 gallons. Together we will find something that suits your needs.

Are you able to collect in the winter?

Yes! Black Bear is a year-round operation. We are even capable of collecting oil in -20 degrees.

What can I put in the oil bin?

Just oil, please. Cooking oil, animal fats, and vegetable oils. Compost food scraps separately, and refrain from putting water in the container.

Do you recycle petroleum oil?

No we do not.

Do you have any tips on Bear Safety?

Yes! View our Bear Safety tips here.

How do you know when to come collect my oil?

We keep detailed records and use algorithms to help us forecast when your storage container is nearing capacity. From day one, every drop of oil that we collect from your facility is documented and used to anticipate your needs. We also track your seasonal business patterns and stay up-to-date on local events to ensure the most accurate estimates!

Do you collect any amount of oil?

We aim to collect a minimum of 50 gallons per pickup. If you have small amounts, give us a call and we will discuss.

Do I have to call to receive collection services?

Nope! We are dialed into your needs from day 1. Our specially-designed algorithms provide timely and accurate forecasts for each one of our clients, allowing us to anticipate your needs so you never have to pick up the phone to request service.

What happens to oil after it is collected?

The oil we collect is recycled into yellow grease and then made into biodiesel, a clean-burning alternative to petroleum diesel. That biodiesel is then redistributed across New England and used for transportation and home heating.

Would you like a cup of coffee while collecting?

Yes, please. Thank you for asking.
