Seafood grills along US‑1, craft‑beer pubs on Minton Road, and taco trucks parked beside Turkey Creek Sanctuary all generate plenty of fryer oil. We pick it up free, pay you up to $0.50 per gallon, and turn that grease into clean‑burning biodiesel. Call (305) 204‑5207 any time; a hurricane‑strapped bin can reach your dock before tomorrow’s lunch rush—even if I‑95 crawls or those afternoon thunderstorms roll in.
Why Palm Bay Kitchens Pick Us (99.5 % on‑time in 2025)
Palm Bay restaurants trust us because our drivers dodge Malabar Rd traffic at dawn, stage tankers near the St. Johns Heritage Pkwy, and never miss a pickup during Space Coast launch surges. We file every gallon in Brevard’s FOG portal, and your rebate automatically climbs as volume grows. Result: rock‑solid service, zero hidden fees, and bigger quarterly checks—proven by our 99.5 % on‑time record.

Case Study — Turkey Creek Grill
Open drums beside the creek let rainwater slash purity to 91 %. We installed a 95‑gal gasketed cart; purity hit 99 % and the rate rose from $0.28 to $0.38/gal, funding new outdoor fans before July heat.

Palm Bay‑Specific FAQs
Can pickups avoid I‑95 traffic jams? Our pre‑sunrise routes pivot via Babcock St and the Heritage Pkwy; if congestion flares on live GPS, drivers reroute within five minutes, protecting our 99.5 % on‑time record and your kitchen schedule.
Do launch‑night surge pickups cost extra? Never. We stage a dedicated vacuum tanker on Launchway Dr during rocket nights, and extra runs stay FREE while every gallon still counts toward your cash‑rebate tier.
What happens during hurricane watches? Once a watch is issued, we move bins to higher ground, email a temporary service plan, and resume collections 24–48 h after the all‑clear—no fees, penalties, or skipped rebates.
Is there a minimum volume before I earn rebates? None. Your very first gallon logged in Brevard’s FOG portal triggers payment, and volume automatically climbs you into higher per‑gallon tiers.
How and when are rebates paid? We total your gallons at quarter‑end, ACH deposit within 15 days, and send a PDF statement detailing volume, purity, and bonus credits like punctuality.
Is the smart sensor required? Optional at $15/mo. Most kitchens add it because fill‑level alerts prevent overflow fines and auto‑timestamped weights boost rebate accuracy—basic pickups stay free without it.
