Surf‑side grills on the Cocoa Beach Pier, cafés along Minutemen Causeway, and food trucks circling Ron Jon Surf Shop pour out hot fry oil daily. We collect every drop for free, pay you up to $0.50 per gallon, and transform that grease into low‑carbon biodiesel. Call (305) 204‑5207 anytime; a hurricane‑rated bin can reach your back door before tomorrow’s lunch rush—even if A1A crawls or a 3 p.m. sea‑breeze storm blows in from the Atlantic.
Why Cocoa Beach Kitchens Pick Us (99.6 % on‑time in 2025)
Our drivers slip in before sunrise surf traffic, stage vacuum tankers on Causeway SR‑520, and never miss a pickup during the Cocoa Beach Air Show or the NKF Surf Festival. Every gallon is logged in Brevard’s FOG portal, and your rebate climbs automatically as volume grows. The upshot: punctual pickups, zero surprise fees, and fatter quarterly checks—backed by our 99.6 % on‑time record.

“Your crew pumped our bins before the pier lot filled, and last quarter’s rebate hit $638.”

“Air‑Show crowds jam A1A, but your night tanker cleared two carts—at $0.48/gal we funded new board racks.”
