About Buffalo Biodiesel

Buffalo Biodiesel Inc. was incorporated in 2005.
We began with one location, two trucks, and two employees serving local suppliers.
Today, we serve more than 25,000 suppliers across 15 states with over 130 employees, 200+ vehicles, and 8 operating locations.

As an American company, we proudly support the local economy in Buffalo and throughout our service regions.

Used cooking oil recycling keeps waste out of landfills and helps reduce pollution in our communities.

By converting used oil into clean, renewable fuel, we help reduce reliance on non-renewable resources and create cleaner-burning energy.

The result is a high-quality fuel that provides excellent performance and lubricity while being better for the planet.

Our Process

Sign a contract with Buffalo Biodiesel (BBD).
We provide an all-metal collection container at no cost.
Fill it with your used cooking oil.
When it’s nearly full:
- A: Call to schedule a pickup, or
- B: Our radar monitoring system alerts us automatically.
A BBD driver collects the oil and transports it to our local depot.
The oil is processed at our Tonawanda facility into feedstock for biofuel.
We ship refined oil to partner refineries, where it’s converted into biodiesel.
The cycle continues—turning waste into clean energy.
