Proper Oils – Working with Local Authorities

Local Authorities

A number of Local Authorities in London have chosen to work in partnership with Proper Oils. We now work with 3 Local Authorities, with one relationship already 3 years old. These boroughs include:

Ealing Council were the first London Borough to work in partnership with a Waste Oil Collector “so caterers within the borough could receive a free collection service for this waste stream”. Proper Oils was chosen, and has been delivering a robust borough-wide commercial Waste Cooking Oil collection service since Dec 2007 - view Ealing Council Case Study here.

Envibe, part of the Sustainable Development Service at Croydon Council, replicated the same agreement to the benefit of caterers within their borough. Proper Oils has been working with Croydon Council & Envibe since April 2009.

Envibe is working very successfully with Proper Oils to provide a collection service for caterers waste oil within the borough which helps to reduce the negative impact of waste on our local environment. “The service encourages businesses to improve their environmental performance and we look forward to it going from strength to strength” Debbie Clement, Envibe Co-ordinator, Croydon Council.

City of London appointed Proper Oils to take over their own Waste Cooking Oil collection round - providing caterers within the borough with a free collection service for their Waste Cooking Oil, replacing a chargeable service. This partnership started in April 2009

The advantages for the councils are:

Caterers disposing of their oil illegally can be directed to Proper Oils

The council & the Environmental Health Office knows that the problem will be resolved

The council gets monthly updates and reporting of volume of oil collected

Proper Oils are insured for £10,000,000 for Public Liability, as required by the Local Authorities who we work with. Please see Due Diligence for more info and a copy of Proper Oils Confirmation of Insurance.
