When I was collecting oil I ran into a problem with two local asian food restaurants that wanted steel (preferably stainless) containers so they could drain their fryers while hot. The three other places I was collecting from were all very willing to use my provided setup which consisted of a bag-type filter on top of a 5 gallon plastic bucket and a snap-on bucket cover. I found basic filtering of the big chunks at the source was very helpful if they were willing to do it.
Keep in mind around here restaurants still pay to have their used oil hauled away for them. I was collecting for free. I was collecting 25 - 50 gallons/month.
I no longer collect my own oil because my usage wasn't enough to justify the expense of a reactor. I gave away 200 gals of fryer oil recently and instead purchase about 50 gals/month form a relatively local brewer that produces 10,000 gallon batches for $2.66/gal.
