BBQ shacks off Shady Hills Road, concession stands at Crews Lake Wilderness Park, and food‑truck pods near the Suncoast Parkway all turn out buckets of used cooking oil. We haul every drop—free—recycle it into clean biodiesel for Pasco County fleets, and pay you up to $0.50 per gal. Text (305) 204‑5207 day or night; a storm‑sealed bin can be on your pad before tomorrow’s lunch rush.
Why Shady Hills Kitchens Stick With Us (99.5 % on‑time in 2025)
- Rural‑Route Dawn Sweep — Our trucks loop Shady Hills Rd → Peace Blvd → US‑52 from 5–7 a.m., beating school‑bus waves and landfill transfer traffic.
- Park‑Day Surge Tanker — Crews Lake festivals and Pasco County Earth Day add triple output. A 1 000‑gal tanker stages at the park service road—extra pickups, $0 surcharge.
- Storm‑Proof Lids — Summer Gulf downpours? Dual‑gasket lids shrug off 5‑inch‑per‑hour rain and pine needles—rebate weights stay true.
- Top‑Scale Rebates — High‑quality soy oil from farm‑fresh cafés often hits $0.45–$0.50 / gal.
- 25‑Mile Closed Loop — Oil travels 25 mi to our Tampa BQ‑9000 refinery, then powers Pasco school buses—short haul, ultra‑low carbon.
“County Earth Day drew crowds—two extra pickups cost us zero and the rebate covered new picnic tables.”
— M. Diaz, Pasco Parks Concessions
“They clear our pit smoker grease before dawn, no raccoons, no smell.”
— Ron K., Hilltop BBQ on Shady Hills Rd
