Wiregrass Mall food-court fryers, AdventHealth Center Ice concession stands, and lagoon food‑truck rallies in Epperson all crank out hot oil. We collect every drop—free—convert it into clean biodiesel for Pasco County fleets, and pay you up to $0.50 / gal. Call or text (305) 204‑5207 anytime; a storm‑sealed bin can be on your pad before tomorrow’s lunch rush.
Why Wesley Chapel Kitchens Choose Us (99.6 % on‑time in 2025)
- I‑75 Sunrise Sweep — Trucks cruise SR‑54 → Bruce B. Downs → Wesley Chapel Blvd from 5–7 a.m., bypassing morning jams at Wiregrass and school drop‑offs at Cypress Creek High.
- Event Surge Tanker — Epperson Lagoon concerts and Center Ice tournaments triple grease. A 1 000‑gal tanker stages on Epperson Blvd—extra pickups, $0 surcharge.
- Storm‑Proof Lids — Afternoon sea‑breeze storms? Dual‑gasket lids block 5‑inch‑per‑hour rain and sand pine needles—rebate weights stay exact.
- Top‑Scale Rebates — High‑quality soy oil from farm‑to‑table cafés often earns $0.45–$0.50 / gal.
- 20‑Mile Closed Loop — Oil travels 20 mi to our Tampa BQ‑9000 refinery, then powers Pasco school buses—short haul, ultra‑low carbon.
“Tournament weekend hit 1 200 gal. Grease Connections cleared it nightly—free.”
— Leah M., AdventHealth Center Ice F&B
“Pickup wraps before shoppers arrive, and the rebate bought new fryer baskets.”
— Sam P., Wiregrass Mall Eatery
