Used Cooking Oil Recycling
Grease Connections has kept the Cove’s seafood grills, Quiet Waters Park food trucks, and Boca-border bistros grease-violation-free since 2016, turning every gallon of used fryer oil into ASTM-certified biodiesel for Broward County buses and backup generators. No contracts, no hidden fees, unlimited free pickups—no matter your volume. Storm-sealed bins laugh at summer squalls and outwit opportunistic seagulls.

Why Deerfield Kitchens Stick With Us (99.7 % on-time service in 2024)
1. Dawn-Patrol Coastal Routing
Our trucks finish before the Hillsboro Blvd drawbridge lifts at 6 a.m. and dodge morning backups on Federal Hwy (US-1). Routing AI avoids Brightline rail holds so your alley is clear for seafood and produce deliveries.
2. Storm-Sealed Slimline Bins
A 140-gal bin rolls through 36-inch prep doors yet holds two fryer loads. Dual gaskets repel 5-inch-per-hour rain and salty sea spray—so rebate weights stay true.
3. Instant Digital Paperwork
Drivers scan your QR tag; e-manifests sync instantly to Broward’s FOG portal. Email + SMS receipts hit your inbox before the truck reaches I-95.
4. Festival Surge—Always Free
During the 4th on the Beach, Deerfield Festival of the Arts, or the Pioneer Days Parade, grease output can triple. We stage an extra pump crew in the Pier parking garage and add pickups with zero surcharges.
5. Competitive Rebates, Fast Deposits
Earn $0.30–$0.50 per gallon, ACH within 15 days of quarter-end. A live dashboard tracks NYMEX veg‑oil futures so you can forecast cash.
6. Local, Multilingual Crews
Drivers live in Deerfield, Lighthouse Point, and Pompano. All speak English & Spanish; one also speaks Portuguese—handy for Brazilian steakhouses on Hillsboro.
