Used Cooking Oil Collection Services

The City of Elgin is seeking proposals for used cooking oil collection services for businesses in its downtown Central Business District. The city is looking for vendors to provide services that reduce public right-of-way cleanliness issues, improve sanitation, and enhance business operations. Proposals may include the continuation of the current shared-corral collection model or alternative service options, such as on-premise collection solutions or turnkey service models. Vendors must provide equipment, staff, disposal pathways, and documentation necessary for safe and compliant used cooking oil handling. • The city is open to evaluating capital improvements or equipment installations on private property to support an on-premise solution. • Vendors must comply with all applicable city, state, and federal regulations, including the payment of prevailing wages. • The city reserves the right to select more than one vendor, award by service model, negotiate modifications, or reject all proposals.
