Registered Grease Haulers

Date: May 21, 2003

To: All Local Enforcement Agencies

Please be advised that all companies doing business in California that transport inedible kitchen grease must obtain a registration sticker for each of their trucks from the Department of Food And Agriculture pursuant to provisions of the Food and Agriculture Code as well as the Vehicle Code. It is a violation of these same laws to accept waste grease from an unregistered hauler. Therefore, for those of you involved in permitting transporters to dispose of the material in your jurisdiction, it is important that your permit conditions include a requirement that the transporters obtain and display all required registrations and permits.  Attached are copies of the code sections relevant to this issue as well as a current list from the Department of Food and Agriculture showing who is registered.

Please note that Ameriguard Maintenance Services and Thrifty Best Service are not on this list. If you have questions, please feel free to contact Carol Monahan at (916) 322-3638 or at cmonahan@calepa.ca.gov.

For the most current information concerning registrations, please contact Ross Massey at the Department of Food and Agriculture (909) 825-9445. 

The next meeting of the Grease Hauler Enforcement Taskforce is set for Thursday, June 5 at 10 a.m. here in Sacramento.
