Family diners hugging US‑27, resort restaurants near ChampionsGate, and food trucks hustling at Posner Village turn out gallons of hot fryer oil every day. We collect every drop—free—pay you up to $0.50 per gallon, and refine that grease into low‑carbon biodiesel. Call (305) 204‑5207 anytime; a hurricane‑rated bin can reach your loading dock before tomorrow’s lunch rush—even if I‑4 clogs or a 3 p.m. thunder‑boomer sweeps across Polk’s Ridge.
Why Davenport Kitchens Pick Us (99.6 % on‑time in 2025)
Our drivers hit US‑27 before dawn, stage vacuum tankers on Ronald Reagan Parkway, and never miss a pickup when ChampionsGate soccer tournaments or Posner Park Food Fest crowds flood the strip. Every gallon is filed in Polk County’s FOG portal, and your rebate climbs automatically as volume grows. The result: punctual pickups, zero hidden fees, and bigger quarterly checks—backed by our 99.6 % on‑time record.

Case Study — Sunset Taquería
Afternoon rain pooled around an uncovered 70‑gal drum, diluting oil quality to 90 %. We installed a 70‑gal gasketed cart; purity hit 98 % and the rate rose from $0.27 to $0.37/gal, funding an outdoor taco bar upgrade before Cinco de Mayo.
