Grease Collection Report
When used cooking oil is picked up from you location, it is important to attain a manifest report to show city inspectors during facility audit. Without this paperwork, they are able to cite the establishment for not being in compliant with city grease disposal regulations.

Therefore, it is important to ensure that grease containers are at a secured location so that it is not easily accessible for anyone to steal or take.
