We collect every gallon of used cooking oil for free and recycle it into low‑carbon biodiesel for Pasco County fleets—and pay you up to $0.50 / gal. Call or text (305) 204‑5207 anytime—our 24 / 7 crew can drop a storm‑sealed bin before the next brunch rush.
Why Land O’ Lakes Kitchens Trust Us (99.5 % on‑time in 2025)
- US‑41 Dawn Dash — Trucks sweep Ehren Cut‑Off → US‑41 → SR‑54 from 5–7 a.m., beating school buses near Land O’ Lakes High and commuter jams.
- Festival Surge Tanker — Swamp Fest and Connerton Food Truck Fridays triple grease. A 1 000‑gal tanker stages at Land O’ Lakes Heritage Park—extra pickups, zero surcharge.
- Storm‑Proof Lids — Afternoon gulf storms? Dual‑gasket lids lock out 5‑inch‑per‑hour rain and pine needles—rebate weights stay precise.
- Top‑Tier Rebates — High‑quality soy blends from farm‑fresh kitchens often pay $0.45–$0.50 / gal.
- 25‑Mile Local Loop — Oil travels 25 mi to our Tampa BQ‑9000 refinery, then fuels Pasco school buses—short haul, ultra‑low carbon.
“Funnel‑cake stand stayed spotless at Swamp Fest and our rebate bought new filters.”
— Angela M., Pasco Junior Woman’s Club Concessions
“Pickup before sunrise means patio smells like lake breeze, not grease.”
— R. Patel, Lake Padgett Bistro
