Thumb BioEnergy

At Thumb BioEnergy, we provide Michigan restaurants with fast and responsive used cooking oil collection. We excel in this field by being a local, Michigan-owned company that updates our collection routes daily to better serve our customers. We pay our customers on the spot after every collection and provide them with a weight ticket to show exactly how much oil we collected. After we’ve collected used cooking oil it is taken to our production facility in Sandusky, Michigan where it is cleaned up and processed into Grade 1B Biodiesel to ASTM standards. Our biodiesel is then sold throughout the Thumb of Michigan to various oil companies and farmer cooperatives.
