Waterfront crab shacks on US‑19, Gulf View Square food‑court chains, and Cotee River Seafest fry tents all pour out rivers of hot oil. We collect every gallon—free—turn it into low‑carbon biodiesel for Pasco County fleets—and pay you up to $0.50 / gal. Call or text (305) 204‑5207 24 / 7; a storm‑sealed bin can be dockside before the next lunch rush.
Why Port Richey Kitchens Pick Us (99.4 % on‑time in 2025)
- US‑19 Sunrise Sweep — Trucks loop Ridge Rd → US‑19 → Grand Blvd 5–7 a.m., beating bridge openings and school drop‑offs.
- Seafest Surge Tanker — Cotee River Seafest and Waterfront Week triple grease. A 1 000‑gal vacuum tanker stages by Sims Park—extra pickups, zero surcharge.
- Storm‑Proof Lids — Summer sea‑breeze storms? Dual‑gasket lids lock out 5‑inch‑per‑hour rain and oyster shells—rebate weights stay precise.
- Top‑Tier Rebates — Clean soy oil from seafood kitchens often earns $0.45–$0.50 / gal.
- 20‑Mile Local Loop — Oil travels 20 mi to our Tampa BQ‑9000 refinery, then fuels Pasco school buses—short haul, ultra‑low carbon.
“They cleared 1 200 gal during Seafest, and our rebate covered new patio heaters.”
— Jess P., Gill Dawg Tiki Bar
“Pickup hits before tourists hit the docks—no fishy grease smell.”
— Manny L., Crab & Fin Shack on US‑19
