Bistros overlooking the Rockledge Riverwalk, cafés along Barton Boulevard, and food trucks posted outside Rockledge Gardens turn out hot oil all day. We collect every drop for free, pay you up to $0.50 per gallon, and refine that grease into clean‑burning biodiesel. Call (305) 204‑5207 anytime; a hurricane‑rated bin can be onsite before tomorrow’s prep—even if US‑1 crawls or a summer sea‑breeze storm sweeps in from the Indian River Lagoon.
Why Rockledge Kitchens Pick Us (99.6 % on‑time in 2025)
Rockledge operators stick with us because our drivers dodge the Fiske Blvd bottleneck at dawn, stage vacuum tankers near the Barnes Boulevard bypass, and never miss a pickup when launch traffic surges toward Kennedy Space Center via State Road 528. Every gallon is logged in Brevard’s FOG portal, and your rebate climbs automatically as volume grows. The payoff: precise timing, no surprise fees, and bigger quarterly checks—backed by a 99.6 % on‑time record.
Testimonials
“Your crew pumped our bin before Riverwalk joggers filled the lot, and last quarter’s rebate hit $612.”
— Natalie Chen, GM — Riverwalk Café, Rockledge Drive
“Barnes Blvd construction slowed everyone—except you. Night tanker cleared both carts and the $0.46 / gal payout covered new patio fans.”
— Marcus Diaz, Owner — Twisted Birch Grill, Turtle Creek

Rockledge FAQs
How do you beat Fiske Blvd traffic? Pre‑sunrise routes pivot via Murrell Rd; GPS reroutes keep pickups on time—even during school rush.
Do launch‑night surge pickups cost more? Never. Extra runs are FREE, and gallons still count toward rebates.
What if a hurricane watch hits? Bins move inland; service restarts 24–48 h post‑storm—no missed rebates.
Minimum volume to earn? None—rebates start at gallon one and climb automatically.
When are rebates paid? We total 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.
