In a hurry? Grease Connections is the only used oil collection company that gives every restaurant a 24/7 portal where multiple vendors can schedule pickups, download manifests, and pull ESG ready diversion reports in one place with no extra log ins, no add on fees.
Who Already Offers an Online Portal?
Restaurant Technologies’ T.O.M.™ dashboard streams fryer sensor data and lets managers request service online. Mahoney Environmental uses a web form to drop locations straight onto the next available route. DAR PRO Solutions promotes a “seamless” process but still leans on phone dispatch for changes.
Safety Kleen added a self service site that simply shows the next pickup window. Grand Natural’s EcoSystem app handles one click scheduling on desktop and mobile. Sanimax pairs “data driven reporting” with auto generated routes, yet access is single account only. Filta offers a basic customer login for invoices and quotes, not live tank data. Grease Collection provides a portal for its east coast customers.
Why Digital Scheduling Beats “Call the Truck”
Paper receipts vanish, inspectors fine you, and rebate credits slip through the cracks. Florida’s April 2025 update to Rule 62 710 now requires annual registration and spill plans for anyone storing over 55 gallons of used oil. Georgia’s storm water permit and New Jersey’s 2024 food waste law both demand diversion proof each year.
A live portal stores every manifest, time stamps pickups, and shows fill level graphs so kitchens can right size service before overflows hit. Add automatic email alerts and you replace four phone calls with one click, saving an average of 18 minutes per pickup, according to aggregated dispatch data from Grease Connections clients.

Where Grease Connections Pulls Ahead
Every pickup, tank sensor ping, and rebate hits one secure dashboard and you can add third party grease trap vendors so health inspectors see one continuous chain of custody. The portal lets staff change dates, flag emergency overflows, and batch download monthly manifest folders in seconds.
Diversion and CO₂ equivalent numbers slot straight into your ESG software with no manual typing. Because the platform is cloud based, regional managers log in once to monitor all stores across Florida, Georgia, and New Jersey with no juggling separate vendor sites. That single pane of glass approach is why 1,400+ Southeast locations now rely on Grease Connections.
