Recovery · Recycling · Renewables

Valuable material shouldn't be treated like ordinary waste.

Used cooking oil, animal fats and other approved recoverable food-service materials can have value beyond their original use.

TerraCore connects generators with qualified collection, transportation, recycling, rendering and processing resources while giving the customer one point of contact for service.

Turn waste into recovery. Keep recoverable materials separate, properly stored and moving into appropriate recycling and processing channels.

Used Cooking Oil Collection

Scheduled or on-call collection of approved used cooking oil generated by restaurants, commercial kitchens and food-service operations.

The TerraCore Model

One recovery partner. Multiple service resources.

Oil and animal-fat recovery can involve container suppliers, collection companies, transporters, renderers, processors and end buyers.

TerraCore serves as the customer's contracting and service-management contact while coordinating qualified service providers and downstream facilities appropriate for the material and location.

That gives your operation a simpler relationship while TerraCore manages the service path behind it.

One point of contact.

Qualifying Locations

Your recoverable material may qualify for a better program.

Depending on material type, volume, quality, location, collection frequency and current market conditions, qualifying facilities may be eligible for special collection terms.

TerraCore reviews each location individually rather than using a one-size-fits-all program.

Certain qualifying customers may be eligible for complimentary collection or other recovery-program options based on material value and service conditions.
