Why Responsible Grease Disposal Matters
Grease that enters drains solidifies, causing 47% of U.S. sewer blockages; EPA pretreatment data show cities that enforce fats oils grease (FOG) plans cut clogs by half. Commercial grease disposal also slashes carbon intensity: converting fryer oil to biodiesel can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 94%, according to industry research. Proper manifests protect you from hefty fines, and recycled grease earns revenue instead of racking up plumbing bills, turning a disposal headache into a profit center.
Our End to End Process
First, you request service online or by phone; we deliver the container size that fits your volume and kitchen layout. According to industry benchmarks, free containers with locking lids deter the grease theft that costs restaurants millions annually. Our licensed drivers scan your container barcode, pump the oil, and leave a digital manifest that meets EPA record keeping standards. Collected oil is filtered, dewatered, and refined into ASTM grade biodiesel, a process that captures energy otherwise lost to landfills. Funds for every gallon flow back to your account within seven business days.
Have a current provider and need to switch? No worries we handle that.

Grease Pickup FAQ
What types of grease and oil will you pick up?
According to the U.S. EPA’s used oil management rules, commercial generators may store any non hazardous fryer oil, shortening, or blended vegetable grease as long as each container is clearly marked “Used Oil” and remains sealed. Grease Connections follows that standard, so anything that meets those criteria is eligible for free pickup.
What if the oil contains water, food scraps, or cleaning chemicals?
If we detect more than 2% contamination by volume, typically water, breading crumbs, or detergent residue, we perform a no charge filter swap on the spot to protect downstream refining equipment. Research on waste oil pre treatment shows that excess solids and moisture accelerate free fatty acid formation and clog processing lines, so keeping contamination low preserves rebate value.
How do you stop thieves from siphoning my grease?
We install welded lid or locking screen containers and add optional GPS tags that alert us to unauthorized movement, methods recommended by industry suppliers to deter grease theft. These measures have proven effective at keeping yellow grease pilfering incidents near zero across our Florida, Georgia, and New Jersey service areas.
Where can I see my manifests or request an emergency pickup?
Every load is recorded in a digital manifest that satisfies FOG program record keeping rules under the Clean Water Act, giving you instant proof during health inspections. You can log into the customer portal 24/7 to download those manifests, change your pickup schedule, order an emergency haul, or track monthly rebate payments.
