“Your truck glided in right after the sunset schooner docked, the hose never crossed our patio, and our rebate vaulted from $395 to $645 in one quarter.”
Trevor Jenkins, GM — Riverfront Grill, New Port Richey
Why Pasco kitchens look to Grease Connections
Fryer baskets never rest on Gulf‑side seafood decks in Hudson, taco trailers along State Road 54, and doughnut counters at Wiregrass Mall. Any splash that slips off a dock can run into the Pithlachascotee River or wash toward the Anclote shoals. Pasco County Utilities’ FOG team can levy $800‑a‑day penalties if manifests aren’t filed correctly.
Grease Connections spots a right‑sized sealed container, schedules pick‑ups around Suncoast Parkway bottlenecks and Chasco Fiesta street closures, and refines every gallon of used cooking oil into low‑carbon renewable diesel—guarding waterways, keeping kitchen floors dry, and turning waste into dependable revenue.

Step 3 — Cash in the bank before lunch prep
A CDL driver hooks a drip‑proof hose, drains the tank in four minutes, wipes the pad with citrus enzyme cleaner, and posts a geo‑tagged photo to the county FOG dashboard. A four‑language manifest lands in your inbox, and ACH hits Suncoast, Wells Fargo, or Regions before 10 a.m. Each quarter we review purity and volume; if you reach a new tier, your rate jumps automatically.
Voices from the Pasco food scene
“The midnight Gulf run empties fryers before sunrise fishermen hit the pier, and those checks now pay our live‑music permit.”
Nina Morales, Owner — Salty Pelican Bar, Port Richey
“The 105‑gal tote rides our mall’s service lift; the sensor pinged 80 %, and your truck arrived in 70 minutes.”
Evan Smith, Ops Lead — Wiregrass Wings, Wesley Chapel
“Storm‑prep pump‑out kept our River Ridge grill oil below half for Idalia—zero overflow, no overtime.”
Karla Tran, GM — Oak Hammock Grill, New Port Richey
Case study — Zephyrhills BBQ Barn
Three rusty drums behind a tin shed collected rainwater, pushing rebates down to $0.24/gal. We swapped in a 145‑gal flat tank with a crumb screen and sensor. Within six weeks, purity hit 98 %, slip incidents vanished, and the rebate climbed to $0.34/gal, covering a smoker upgrade.
