Why Margate Kitchens Choose Us (99.5 % on‑time pickups in 2024)

  • Congestion‑proof routing. Pre‑dawn trucks cruise Margate Blvd before the 7 a.m. squeeze at US‑441 & Atlantic Blvd and skip Tri‑Rail rail holds on Sample Rd.
  • Storm‑sealed bins. Dual‑gasket lids keep 5‑inch‑per‑hour rain and debris out, so rebate weights stay accurate.
  • Instant e‑paperwork. Drivers scan a QR tag; manifests upload automatically to Broward’s FOG portal and your inbox.
  • Event surge at no extra cost. Margate Under the Moon, Fall Festival, Fourth of July parade—extra pickups, zero surcharges.
  • Competitive rebates. Earn $0.30–$0.50 per gallon; ACH arrives within 15 days after each quarter’s close.
  • Local bilingual crews. Teams live in Margate and Coconut Creek—English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole spoken.

Environmental Impact

Our pickups make a concrete difference for Margate and nearby waterways.

  • 89,000 gallons recycled in 2024. Enough to fill roughly three city swimming pools—diverted from drains and landfills.
  • ≈220 cars off US‑441. Around 790 metric tons of CO₂ avoided, equal to sidelining 220 midsize cars for a full year.
  • Cleaner air. Biodiesel emits up to 80 % less particulate matter than petroleum diesel, benefiting nearby school zones and parks.
  • Water protection. Every gallon kept out of storm drains helps protect the Cypress Creek Canal and reduces algae blooms in Lake Santa Barbara.
  • Circular economy. Collected oil travels 6 miles to our Pompano plant, is refined, and then fuels Broward buses—closing the loop locally.
