Waterfront grills along the Sebastian River, neighborhood bars in Barefoot Bay, and food trucks lining Micco Road all generate buckets of sizzling fryer oil. We collect every drop for free, pay you up to $0.50 per gallon, and turn 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 US‑1 stalls or an afternoon sea‑breeze thunderstorm rolls in from Sebastian Inlet.
Why Micco Kitchens Pick Us (99.5 % on‑time in 2025)
Micco operators stick with us because our drivers beat the US‑1 morning crawl, stage vacuum tankers near the Wabasso Causeway, and never miss a pickup when weekend anglers flood Sebastian Inlet State Park. Every gallon is logged in Brevard’s FOG portal and your rebate auto‑bumps as volume rises. Expect precise timing, no hidden fees, and fatter quarterly checks—backed by our 99.5 % on‑time record.

“Barefoot Bay golf crowd packs Micco Rd at 7 a.m., but your pre‑dawn pickup hit 5:30 sharp—the $0.47 / gal check paid for new deck umbrellas.”

Micco FAQs
How do you avoid US‑1 bottlenecks? Pre‑sunrise routes and Micco Rd detours keep pickups punctual—even during turtle‑nesting season.
Do fishing‑tournament surges cost more? Nope—extra runs stay FREE, and gallons still count toward rebates.
What if a hurricane watch hits? Bins shift inland; service resumes 24–48 h after the all‑clear—no missed rebates.
Minimum volume to earn? None—rebates start at gallon one and grow automatically.
When are rebates paid? We tally gallons quarterly; ACH arrives in 15 days with a PDF purity report.
Is the smart sensor required? Optional $15/mo; alerts prevent overflow fines, but pickups stay free without it.
