Downtown diners on Gall Blvd (US‑301), Publix deli fryers off SR‑54, and Skydive City food‑truck rallies all crank out gallons of used cooking 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 breakfast crowd.
Why Zephyrhills Kitchens Choose Us (99.5 % on‑time in 2025)
- US‑301 Sunrise Sweep — Trucks cruise Gall Blvd → SR‑54 → Eiland Blvd from 5–7 a.m., missing school buses at Raymond B. Stewart Middle and morning bottlenecks by the water plant.
- Event Surge Tanker — Skydive City Boogie and Founders’ Day Festival triple grease output. A 1 000‑gal tanker stages at Zephyr Park—extra pickups, $0 surcharge.
- Storm‑Proof Lids — Summer downpours? Dual‑gasket lids block 5‑inch‑per‑hour rain and sand pine needles—rebate weights stay exact.
- Top‑Scale Rebates — High‑quality soybean oil from farm‑to‑table cafés often earns $0.45–$0.50 / gal.
- 25‑Mile Closed Loop — Oil travels 25 mi to our Tampa BQ‑9000 refinery, then powers Pasco school buses—short haul, ultra‑low carbon.
“Boogie week hit 1 500 gal. Grease Connections cleared it each night—free.”
— Alex D., Skydive City Café Manager
“Pickup happens before sun‑up, and the rebate covered new fryer baskets.”
— Tara L., Main Street Diner on US‑301
