Why Route 4 kitchens are switching to Grease Connections
| Common headache | Our fix | What you gain |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday‑night closures leave drums full until Monday. | Sunday‑evening pickups (6:00‑10:00 p.m.) work around county retail‑closure laws. | Start the week with an empty, slip‑free floor. |
| Oil volume spikes seven days a week. | Twice‑daily collections—morning and late evening. | No overflow drums or service‑corridor spills. |
| Narrow back‑of‑house pathways. | 95 gal low‑profile carts fit 36‑inch doorways. | Staff roll carts safely; locking lids protect rebates. |
| Tight cash flow in food courts. | $0.31–$0.35 per gal paid by direct bank transfer the next business day. | Predictable, line‑item revenue you can forecast each month. |

How it works
Swap grease for guaranteed cash in 3 clear steps
1. Quote in 60 seconds
Fill a brief form with your business name, ZIP code, and fryer count. A locked‑in rebate hits your inbox minutes later—no hidden fees, no binding contracts, and no follow‑up sales calls.
2. Choose service day
A licensed driver positions the tank, attaches the tracking sensor, and logs the first weight. Each pickup auto‑syncs to the county portal, satisfying local NJ ordinances. Routine maintenance checks keep hinges tight and gauges precise.
3. Pump • Polish • Pay
Our technician vacuums every gallon, wipes the area spotless, and applies a tamper seal. A PDF manifest and rebate total arrive before the truck leaves the curb—perfect for inspectors and accountants alike.
