Grease Connections has protected Miramar’s Caribbean cafés, corporate cafeterias, and lakeside food‑truck rallies since 2016, turning used fryer oil into low‑carbon biodiesel for Broward County school buses and backup generators. No contracts, no hidden fees, unlimited free pickups—regardless of volume. Storm‑sealed bins shrug off summer downpours and deter opportunistic ibises.

Why Miramar Kitchens Stick With Us (99.4 % on‑time pickups in 2024)
1. Sunrise Congestion‑Proof Routing
Our trucks finish before I‑75 and the Florida Turnpike clog at 6 a.m. A routing AI avoids the daily railroad hold on Miramar Parkway and school‑zone traffic near Everglades High.
2. Storm‑Sealed Slimline Bins
A 140‑gallon bin rolls through 36‑inch prep doors yet holds two fryer loads. Dual gaskets repel 5‑inch‑per‑hour rain, so rebate weights stay accurate.
3. Instant Digital Paperwork
Drivers scan your QR tag; e‑manifests sync instantly to Broward County’s FOG portal. Email + SMS receipts arrive before the truck reaches Flamingo Road.
4. Event‑Surge Coverage—Always Free
During the Latin Music Fest at Miramar Amphitheater or Ansin Sports Complex track meets, grease output can triple. We stage an extra pump crew at Regional Park and add pickups with zero surcharges.
5. Top‑Tier Rebates, Fast Deposits
Earn $0.41–$0.55 per gallon, ACH within 15 days of quarter‑end. A live dashboard tracks NYMEX veg‑oil prices so you can forecast cash.
6. Multilingual, Local Crews
Drivers live in Miramar, Pembroke Pines, and West Park. Every crew member speaks English and Spanish; two also speak Haitian Creole—ideal for Caribbean eateries along 441.
Tailored Solutions for Miramar’s Diverse Food Scene
Caribbean Restaurants & Bakeries on Miramar Parkway open at dawn for patties and johnnycakes. Pickups occur between 4:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. so breakfast service starts grease‑free.
Corporate Campus Cafeterias at Miramar Park of Commerce serve 2,500+ employees at Spirit Airlines and Comcast. We install 240‑gal low‑profile bins and service twice weekly—no surcharge.

Lakeside HOA Clubhouses in Silver Lakes and Sunset Lakes require odor‑free bins near pool decks. Low‑profile units with carbon filters keep the patio guest‑ready.
School Cafeterias in Coconut Palm K‑8 need documented service for audits. Auto‑synced manifests satisfy district inspectors in seconds.
