Grease Connections
Used Cooking Oil Collection Across Florida
From Wynwood cafés frying pastelitos at dawn to beach‑bar kitchens flipping midnight grouper sandwiches in Destin, Florida’s fryers never stop sizzling—and neither do we. Grease Connections runs the state’s largest DEP‑licensed yellow‑grease fleet, turning waste oil into low‑carbon biodiesel while keeping storm drains and FOG logs spotless. From scheduled fryer‑oil pickups to full‑scale UCO hauling and FOG‑compliance service packages, we’ve got your back statewide.

Why “Florida‑First” Coverage Beats Out‑of‑State Haulers
Routing thousands of yellow‑grease alley pickups taught us a simple truth: proximity beats promise. A driver who grew up dodging Miami’s king‑tide puddles or knows Tampa’s one‑way backsides won’t lose an hour hunting a locked bin. That hyper‑local memory means an overflowing fryer tank at 9 a.m. is cleaned, sanitized, and resealed before the lunch rush—even on Gasparilla Friday.
Local presence also keeps money—and carbon cuts—right here. Our tankers recharge in‑state, our biodiesel buyers fuel Florida fleets, and your rebate check doesn’t pay for a 300‑mile deadhead while chasing UCO recycling miles.

Our Core Services
One partner, five purpose‑built solutions—so you can focus on cooking, not grease logistics.
Used Cooking Oil Pickup
We’ll empty and replace your oil bin on a regular route—or whenever you ask—anywhere in Florida. Night-before scheduling means a clean, odor-free container is ready for the next day’s frying, saving your staff both time and hassle.
Used Cooking‑Oil Recycling & Biodiesel
After collection, we send your used oil to a plant that turns it into clean-burning biodiesel. You receive a simple quarterly report with your rebate and the exact gallons you kept out of landfills—an easy way to earn extra cash.
Grease Disposal & Bulk Hauling
Moving large volumes? Our sealed tanker trucks haul big loads in a single trip, keeping your site tidy and compliant without surprise fees. One call removes tons of grease and the headache of arranging multiple pickups.
Grease Trap Pump‑Out & Line Jetting
We pump, scrape, and power-wash your indoor or outdoor grease trap so drains stay clear and odor-free. Service meets local FOG code—the health rule that controls fats, oils, and grease—saving you from costly violations and emergency plumbers.
Emergency Overflow & Spill Response
Spill, clog, or storm backup? Our crews are on call 24/7 and reach most metro areas within four hours to clean up safely, helping you avoid shutdowns and fines. Fast recovery keeps your kitchen running and your customers happy.
Compliance & Paperwork
Automated, so let us turn inspectors into superfans.
Turn inspectors into superfans. One sensor tap spawns a DEP‑ready manifest, a GPS‑stamped chain‑of‑custody record, and a blockchain QR that says, “Audit me anytime.” Skip three‑ring binders forever—our Florida Grease Regulation Resource Hub walks you through county codes, annual FOG reports, and sample inspection scripts.
If your site is equipped with the RFID puck welded to your tank, our driver taps it and a tablet captures GPS, seal number, net gallons, and CDL signature. A tamper‑proof PDF manifest hits your inbox before the hose stops gurgling. Every manifest QR‑links to a blockchain ledger so a Broward FOG inspector can audit five years’ pickups without a FOIA.
Frequently Asked Questions
Florida‑Specific FAQs
Got a question? We’ve got you covered! Check out the resources below and be sure to let us know if we can answer anything else.
Do I need to call when the container is full?
No calls needed. A pea‑size ultrasonic sensor alerts dispatch automatically at 80 % capacity, auto‑scheduling your used cooking‑oil pickup within the next route cycle—no more surprise overflows.
Will you haul away my old provider’s tank?
Absolutely. Our crew straps the legacy bin to the liftgate, installs a clean container, and records the swap in your UCO‑hauling manifest—total downtime: under ten minutes.
Can you pump our grease trap too?
Sure thing. We bundle grease trap pump‑out & line‑jetting right on the same truck, giving you a single invoice and one‑click compliance log.
How fast do compliance PDFs arrive?
Within 30 seconds of seal‑off. Your inbox receives a GPS‑stamped PDF, blockchain QR, and county‑formatted FOG‑compliance service report before the hose stops gurgling.
