Emergency Cooking Oil Services 24/7
Emergency cooking oil spill cleanup involves immediate containment, professional extraction, surface degreasing, and regulatory documentation. Florida restaurants must prevent oil from reaching drains or soil to avoid fines up to $10,000 daily. Professional response teams use absorbent booms, vacuum extraction, and high-pressure cleaning.

Complete Emergency Response
Running a Florida restaurant means managing countless details and your used cooking oil shouldn’t drain your resources. Stirling Food Systems converts this operational challenge into a profitable advantage. We handle everything from scheduled pickups to regulatory compliance, letting you focus on what matters: serving exceptional food to your customers.
Instant 24/7 Deployment
Our emergency hotline connects you to response teams stationed across Florida. Miami to Jacksonville, Tampa to Orlando; we reach most locations within a fewhours. While you secure the area, we’re already loading containment gear and racing to your site. No hunting for help at midnight. No waiting until morning while oil destroys your kitchen.
Professional Containment & Extraction
We arrive with everything needed: absorbent booms, industrial vacuums, degreasing agents, and protective equipment. First, we surround the spill to stop spreading. Then powerful extraction systems remove pooled oil completely. We don’t just clean visible surfaces – our teams reach under equipment, into drains, and behind fixtures where grease hides.
Environmental Protection & Compliance
Florida law prohibits any cooking oil from entering waterways. We deploy containment barriers around drains immediately. All recovered oil gets transported to recycling facilities with proper manifests. If regulatory reporting is required, we handle it completely. Zero environmental impact, zero compliance headaches for you.

Why Built In Response Beats Calling Random Services
We Know Your System
Unlike third party responders, we installed your tanks and maintain your equipment. Our teams know your layout, your oil volumes, and your vulnerable points. This knowledge saves precious response time when every minute of spreading oil increases damage exponentially.
Priority Response Guaranteed
General hazmat companies juggle highway spills, chemical leaks, and industrial accidents. You might wait 6+ hours during busy periods. Stirling customers get priority dispatch because you’re already partners with us. Your emergency becomes our emergency immediately.
No Surprise Bills
With Stirling, emergency response comes built into your oil service. No extra fees. No hourly charges. No cleanup bills. It’s included because keeping you safe protects our partnership.

The Science of Rapid Oil Spill Response
Modern spill response follows EPA approved protocols designed for maximum safety and speed. Here’s what happens when you call:
Immediate Phone Triage (0-5 minutes)
Our specialist assesses spill size, location, and immediate dangers. We guide you through initial containment; blocking drains, evacuating areas, shutting off heat sources. This phone support alone prevents most spills from becoming disasters.
Rapid Deployment (5-30 minutes)
Response vehicles deploy from strategic Florida locations. Each truck carries 500 pounds of absorbent materials, 50 feet of containment boom, commercial extraction equipment, and enough degreaser for 5,000 square feet. Teams receive your site details electronically while driving.
On-Site Containment (First 15 minutes on site)
Technicians establish safety perimeter with cones and barriers. Absorbent booms surround the spill completely. Floor drains get sealed with magnetic covers or inflatable plugs. This stops environmental spread; the difference between a cleanup and a catastrophe.
Extraction & Cleaning (30-90 minutes)
Industrial vacuums remove pooled oil into sealed containers. Absorbent pads soak up residual grease. Then comes deep cleaning: hot water at 200°F mixed with NSF-approved degreasers, applied at 3,500 PSI. We clean until surfaces test safe using digital slip meters.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Emergency Questions
How fast can you really respond to a spill?
Major Florida metros see response within 2 hours typically. Orlando, Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville; we maintain crews nearby. Remote locations might take 3 to 4 hours. Compare that to standard hazmat services that often quote 6 to 8 hour response times.
Can you handle outdoor tank overflows?
Absolutely. Outdoor spills actually pose greater environmental risk if oil reaches soil or storm drains. We deploy larger containment systems including portable berms and drain seals. Our vacuum trucks can extract thousands of gallons from parking lots or loading areas.
What if oil is still hot when spilled?
Hot oil requires extra precautions but doesn’t slow response. Our teams wear heat resistant PPE rated for 500°F contact. We use specialized high temperature absorbents that won’t ignite. The key is preventing spread while oil cools.
What about spills during health inspections?
Nothing fails inspections faster than active oil spills. If inspectors arrive during cleanup, our certified technicians explain the professional response underway. We provide immediate documentation showing containment and remediation meeting all regulations.
