Turn Your Miami Beach Kitchen’s Waste Into Revenue
The heat, humidity, and high volume tourist rush mean Miami Beach eateries churn through hundreds of gallons of cooking oil every night. When drums overflow, ground staff scramble and maintenance costs soar.
Grease Connections installs a lockable, right‑sized tank that slides into tight storage lanes, then trucks it out before a single drop hits the ground. Scanned, weighed, and lifted in minutes—no mess, no fines.
Each load of used cooking oil reaches our Homestead plant where we filter and refine it into renewable diesel, cutting up to 86 % CO₂ and sending a rebate to your back‑of‑house budget while meeting strict recycling goals.
Cooking oil collection, What We Collect
Canola, soybean, peanut, and most blended fryer oils qualify. Keep food scraps and rinse water out and you can unlock an additional quality bonus—purer cooking oil earns a higher bio-fuel price.

How our Used Cooking Oil Services Work
Getting Started
Snap a quick photo of your current drum area or fill out our 30‑second form. Within two hours, a Miami Beach‑based rep calls to confirm your average weekly cooking oil output and recommends a properly sized container. A DocuSign agreement—month‑to‑month, no penalties—arrives in your inbox the same day. Once signed, we schedule delivery for the next open route, usually within 48 hours, so you’re earning by the very next fryer change‑out.
Service & Compliance
On delivery day our licensed driver wheels the sealed bin into place, activates the barcode on our cloud tracking system, and walks your team through safe transfer—no jargon, just “pour here.” Future pick‑ups follow the schedule you choose: weekly, bi‑weekly, or sensor‑triggered. Each visit takes about five minutes; the driver weighs the load, records purity, and the data auto‑syncs to the FOG portal—so inspectors already have what they need.
Payouts & Reporting
At month‑end our software totals your collected gallons, applies bonuses for low water content or high volume, and issues payment the first business day. ACH hits most accounts within 24 hours; checks arrive by Friday mail. You also receive an Excel‑ready spreadsheet breaking down pickup dates, weights, rebate multipliers, and cumulative CO₂ savings for easy ESG reporting.
Service Frequency & Volume
Art festivals, cruise ships, and sporting events can double used oil overnight. If your sensor flags 80 % capacity, we auto‑dispatch—no call needed—moving every drop of cooking oil into our recycling stream. Pickups can be weekly, bi‑weekly, or monthly and adjust anytime.
Payment Structure
Base rebate is $0.30+/gal for clean fryer oil. Reach 500 gal to earn $0.35 and 1,000 gal for $0.40. Keep water under 5 % for 2‑3 ¢ extra, and rates rise with the used cooking oil market price. Paid the first business day by ACH or check, with a one‑page statement that aligns every oil collection ticket.
Switching from Another Provider?
Hauler contracts can feel restrictive. We start with a no-cost contract review and, if necessary, prepare a cancellation letter citing Florida’s standard 30-day opt-out clause. On swap day we deliver your new container, transfer the used oil—so you keep the volume credit—and haul the competitor’s tank away. The entire exchange finishes in under two hours with no service gap or fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cooking Oil Recycling FAQs
Got a question? We’ve got you covered! Check out the resources below and be sure to let us know if we can answer anything else.
Why bother with professional recycling instead of simple used cooking oil disposal in the Beach?
Pouring oil and grease down the drain coats storm drains, threatens drinking water, and creates a serious problem for city maintenance. Our cooking-oil-to-fuel pathway provides a cleaner, safer working environment and meaningful carbon reductions.
What if I store motor oil too?
We handle only food-grade liquids. For motor oil or used motor oil, we refer you to local oil recycling depots so the two streams never mix.
How is my recycled material used?
Your used cooking oil plus any excess fresh oil from fryer change-outs is converted at our Homestead plant into low-carbon fuel. That closed-loop system keeps thousands of gallons out of landfills each month.
Do you include grease trap cleaning?
Yes. We bundle scheduled grease trap cleaning with our grease traps maintenance program, so commercial kitchens stay code-compliant at regular intervals and prevent spills on busy prep lines.
How does Miami Beach pricing compare with other South Florida cities?
Miami Beach rebates match mainland Miami yet beat Fort Lauderdale by 10 %.
Can grocery stores or other foodservice businesses in Miami Beach join your cooking oil recycling services?
Restaurants, cafeterias, hotel buffets, food-hall stalls, and even grocery stores with hot bars all use our cooking oil services. Any operation producing fats, oils and grease can enroll.
