Brevard County Code Chapter 110, Article II, establishes the county’s Fats, Oils, and Grease Management Program governing every food service establishment on Merritt Island that discharges FOG to the county-owned sewer collection system.
Brevard County strengthened its FOG ordinance through Ordinance No. 2021-04 in February 2021, accelerating enforcement to reduce sanitary sewer overflows that threatened the Indian River Lagoon and Banana River waterway systems.
Brevard County requires every Merritt Island food service establishment to install an approved grease interceptor sized in accordance with Chapter 64E of the Florida Administrative Code.
The county applies a monthly assessment and program fee through the utility bill.
Non-compliance triggers escalating enforcement — from additional inspection charges on the water bill, to county-ordered grease trap pumping at the operator’s expense, to termination of the establishment’s water services in extreme cases.
Florida Statute § 403.0741 governs statewide hauler licensing and requires signed service manifests for every grease waste collection and transport event.
The Florida Department of Health — Brevard County Environmental Health Services division inspects food establishments under Section 381.0072 of the Florida Statutes, and Brevard County health inspectors may review grease trap maintenance records during routine food safety inspections.
GreasePros Recycling generates manifests that meet both the county utility framework and the DOH inspection standard, so Merritt Island operators maintain a single compliance file that covers both regulatory layers.
Stop worrying about your next Brevard County inspection — call GreasePros Recycling at (786) 655-7070 for manifests and documentation that keep your Merritt Island kitchen inspection-ready.
Pickup frequency on Merritt Island depends on kitchen type, daily cover count, and the seasonal volume shifts driven by Kennedy Space Center launches, cruise port traffic from nearby Port Canaveral, and winter tourism along the Space Coast.

Merritt Island sits between the Indian River Lagoon to the west and the Banana River to the east — two environmentally sensitive waterways that make FOG spill prevention a higher-stakes compliance concern than in inland Florida markets.
The Indian River Lagoon is one of the most biologically diverse estuaries in North America, supporting over 4,300 species of plants and animals across its 156-mile length.
Brevard County’s FOG Management Program under Chapter 110 exists in part to protect these waterways from grease-related sanitary sewer overflows, of which the county averaged 57 per year between 2014 and 2018 before the 2021 ordinance update.
A grease interceptor overflow or an unsecured outdoor container spill on Merritt Island does not simply create a plumbing problem — the FOG can reach the lagoon’s drainage basin through the county’s stormwater and sewer infrastructure.
GreasePros Recycling’s locked containers and spill-prevention protocols protect Merritt Island restaurants from the environmental liability posed by an unsecured or overfilled container near the lagoon.
Every gallon of used cooking oil collected from Merritt Island kitchens is recycled into renewable biodiesel at GreasePros Recycling’s processing facility, keeping FOG out of Brevard County’s sewer system and the Indian River Lagoon entirely.
Florida’s hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, and Merritt Island’s barrier-island geography places the community in the direct path of Atlantic storms.
Brevard County has experienced direct impacts from Hurricanes Matthew (2016), Irma (2017), and Nicole (2022). NOAA’s May 2026 outlook projects a 55% chance of a below-normal season, but a single landfalling storm can overwhelm the infrastructure across the island in hours.
GreasePros Recycling activates a 48-hour pre-storm collection protocol for Merritt Island clients when the National Hurricane Center issues a tropical storm watch for the Space Coast. The protocol includes the following protections:

What FOG regulations apply to Merritt Island restaurants under Brevard County code?
Brevard County Code Chapter 110, Article II, requires every food service establishment discharging FOG to the county sewer system to install and maintain an approved grease interceptor. Non-compliance can result in utility bill surcharges, county-ordered pumping charges, and water service termination.
How often should a Merritt Island restaurant schedule grease pickup?
Pickup frequency depends on kitchen type, volume, and seasonal demand from Kennedy Space Center tourism and Port Canaveral cruise traffic. Casual cafés typically need monthly service, waterfront restaurants need bi-weekly, and hotels need weekly pickup with surge capacity.
Does GreasePros Recycling have a facility near Merritt Island?
GreasePros Recycling operates a Cape Canaveral facility at 166 Center St., Suite 235, Cape Canaveral, FL 32920 — less than 10 miles from Merritt Island’s commercial kitchen corridor. The company also serves all Florida cities from its South Florida headquarters.
How does GreasePros Recycling protect the Indian River Lagoon from grease contamination?
GreasePros Recycling provides locked, spill-proof containers and scheduled collection that prevent FOG from reaching the lagoon’s drainage basin through sewer overflows. Every gallon collected from Merritt Island is recycled into renewable biodiesel rather than entering the wastewater system.
Does GreasePros Recycling provide hurricane-season grease service for Merritt Island?
