Grease Connections
Cooking Oil Recycling Near You — Monmouth County, NJ
Why coastal kitchens trust Grease Connections
Beachfront brunch in Asbury Park, concert nights at the PNC Bank Arts Center, and late‑season county fairs in Freehold push fryer cycles into overdrive. Spilled cooking oil hardens on boardwalk planks, clogs storm drains, and threatens the health of the Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers. Local fines start at $500 per day when waste isn’t documented.
Grease Connections delivers the right container, schedules predictable pickups, and converts every gallon of used cooking oil into low‑carbon fuel—protecting beaches, staff, and profits.

“The new 95‑gallon cart rolls in silent at dawn, never disturbs setup, and quarterly rebates now wipe out our linen‑service bill.”
Tanya Greene, Banquet Manager
★★★★★
“Your crew is fast tanks empty before the headliners first power chord, so we keep the fries flying till encore.”
Raj Singh, Concession Director

“That container trimmed half an hour off cleanup and bankrolled a hop‑back filter before blueberry‑wheat season.”
Doug Caruso, Co‑Owner
Case study — Freehold Raceway Mall Food Court
Last summer, four Belmar boardwalk stalls relied on two uncovered 55‑gallon drums. Sea breezes blew sand into the oil, holiday crowds knocked lids askew, and the maintenance crew spent Saturday mid‑shifts mopping greasy footprints.
We swapped the setup for a 140‑gallon low‑profile container fitted with a lockable lid and live fill sensor.
Within the first month, cleanup labor dropped by 3.5 hours per week, freeing a prep cook for earlier mise en place. Because crumb screens now keep the oil cleaner, the tenants’ rebate climbed from $0.27 to $0.34 per gallon, and health‑department walk‑throughs finish in under five minutes thanks to on‑screen manifest proof.
