Call (786) 655-7070 to schedule collection under DOT #4136566 with Florida DEP-recognized compliance documentation included on every job.
Florida restaurants and commercial kitchens must dispose of used cooking oil through DOT-licensed grease haulers under Florida’s used oil management regulations, enforced by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection classifies improperly disposed of used cooking oil as an environmental hazard that can contaminate stormwater systems, public waterways, and municipal sewer infrastructure.
Used cooking oil pickup is a commercial waste collection service in which a DOT-licensed carrier collects liquid and solidified used cooking oil from food service facilities on a scheduled or on-demand basis, transports that material under a documented chain of custody, and delivers the used cooking oil to a Florida DEP-permitted processing facility for recycling into biodiesel or sustainable aviation fuel.
GreasePros Recycling LLC, a licensed used cooking oil pickup and grease recycling company based in Aventura, Florida, provides used cooking oil collection across 20+ Florida cities under DOT #4136566.
GreasePros Recycling delivers a signed Florida DEP-recognized manifest after every collection, documenting the hauler’s identity, the origin kitchen, and the disposal facility — satisfying the documentation requirements of Miami-Dade County’s FOG Program and Broward County’s Industrial Pretreatment Program on every job.
Grease poured into commercial kitchen drains solidifies inside sewer lines, triggering emergency plumbing repairs costing thousands of dollars, county health inspection failures, and temporary closure orders under Miami-Dade and Broward County FOG enforcement protocols.
GreasePros Recycling’s used cooking oil pickup service removes used cooking oil from commercial premises on a schedule tailored to each kitchen’s fryer output — so operators eliminate the risk of drain blockage, avoid county fines, and maintain inspection-ready compliance records at all times.
GreasePros Recycling’s used cooking oil pickup process consists of four sequential stages, from first contact to documented disposal.
A GreasePros Recycling representative evaluates the kitchen’s daily fryer output, available storage space, and county compliance requirements to determine the appropriate container size and used cooking oil pickup frequency. GreasePros Recycling onboards most Florida accounts within one week of first contact.
GreasePros Recycling delivers and installs free lockable used cooking oil storage containers matched to each kitchen’s fryer output and storage footprint. Every container is weatherproof and lockable to prevent theft, keeping collected used cooking oil secure between scheduled pickups and reducing the risk of overflow.
Licensed GreasePros Recycling drivers arrive on the agreed schedule — weekly, biweekly, or monthly — operating tanker trucks equipped with specialized pumping equipment that extracts both liquid and solidified used cooking oil.
GreasePros Recycling drivers follow Clean-Collection protocols on every visit, leaving the collection area clean so kitchen operators experience no disruption to back-of-house operations.
GreasePros Recycling delivers a signed Florida DEP-recognized manifest to the client after every used cooking oil pickup, documenting the full chain of custody from the originating kitchen to the disposal facility.
Florida operators retain these manifests on-site, so unannounced inspections by the Broward County Industrial Pretreatment Program and the Miami-Dade County FOG Program require no advance preparation.
GreasePros Recycling supplies free lockable used cooking oil storage containers to every active Florida service client under the standard service agreement.
A GreasePros Recycling representative selects container size during the free site assessment based on each kitchen’s daily fryer output, storage footprint, and exterior access — so operators receive the correct used cooking oil container on the first delivery without equipment upgrades or additional cost.
Container | Capacity | Placement | Best Fit |
Drum | 55 gallons | Outdoor | Low-volume cafés, food trucks, small kitchens |
Mid Container | 140 gallons | Outdoor | Mid-volume restaurants, casual dining |
Large Container | 240 gallons | Outdoor | High-volume kitchens, hotels, and institutional facilities |
Under-Counter Tank | 29×23×33 inches | Indoor | Tight back-of-house spaces, limited exterior access |
GreasePros Recycling outdoor used cooking oil containers are weatherproof and lockable to prevent theft and spill contamination between pickups.
Indoor under-counter tanks measure 29 inches wide by 23 inches deep by 33 inches tall, fitting beneath standard commercial prep stations in kitchens where exterior container placement is not feasible.
Florida operators with multiple kitchen stations or high seasonal fryer volume contact GreasePros Recycling at (786) 655-7070 to request additional used cooking oil containers at no charge.
The frequency of used cooking oil pickups for a Florida commercial kitchen depends on daily fryer output, menu composition, and operating hours. GreasePros Recycling sets each client’s used cooking oil pickup schedule during the free site assessment and adjusts frequency whenever seasonal volume or menu changes increase daily fryer output.
Kitchen Type | Daily Cooking Oil Output | Recommended Pickup Frequency |
Food truck or café | Low — under 10 gallons/day | Monthly |
Casual dining restaurant | Moderate — 10–30 gallons/day | Biweekly |
Full-service restaurant | High — 30–60 gallons/day | Weekly |
Hotel or institutional kitchen | Very high — 60+ gallons/day | Weekly or twice weekly |
High-volume processing facility | Industrial — 100+ gallons/day | Custom schedule |
Florida restaurants that underestimate the frequency of used cooking oil pickups risk container overflow before the scheduled collection date — triggering Miami-Dade County FOG Program violations, Broward County health code citations, foul odors in back-of-house areas, and emergency plumbing costs from used cooking oil entering drain lines.
GreasePros Recycling clients call (786) 655-7070 at any time to increase used cooking oil pickup frequency during peak seasons, holiday periods, or menu changes that raise daily fryer output above the baseline established at onboarding.

Florida food service operators must contract DOT-licensed used cooking oil haulers under Florida’s used oil management regulations, administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
Transporting commercial used cooking oil without a valid DOT license violates federal motor carrier safety standards established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, exposing both the unlicensed hauler and the food service business that generates the used cooking oil to federal and state regulatory penalties.
GreasePros Recycling LLC operates under DOT #4136566 as a Florida intrastate carrier licensed for liquid tanker transport — the specific Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration classification required for commercial used cooking oil hauling on Florida roads.
Florida food service operators verify GreasePros Recycling’s DOT #4136566 license status in real time through the FMCSA SAFER database — so operators confirm carrier compliance before signing any used cooking oil collection service agreement.
Miami-Dade County’s FOG Program requires every food service establishment to maintain signed records of the removal of used cooking oil by a licensed hauler, and county inspectors are authorized to demand documentation without advance notice.
Broward County’s Industrial Pretreatment Program imposes identical documentation requirements across all Broward County food service facilities.
Florida operators who cannot produce signed manifests during unannounced inspections face county fines, mandatory re-inspection fees, and temporary closure orders.
GreasePros Recycling delivers signed Florida DEP-recognized manifests automatically after every used cooking oil collection — so operators never face a documentation gap during Miami-Dade or Broward County compliance inspections.
Florida food service establishments that improperly dispose of used cooking oil, operate without a valid grease discharge permit, or fail to maintain signed manifests on-site face administrative fines, mandatory re-inspections, permit suspension, and temporary closure orders under Miami-Dade County Code § 24-42.6, Florida Statute 403.121, and Florida Statute 403.751.
As of April 2026, the following verified penalty schedule applies to Florida commercial kitchens across South Florida’s primary enforcement jurisdictions.
Violation | Jurisdiction | Penalty | Authority |
Improper use of cooking oil disposal — first offense | Florida statewide | Up to $2,000 base + up to $75,000 per day of continued violation | Florida Statute 403.121 |
FOG discharge without a valid GDO permit | Miami-Dade County | Up to $15,000 per violation + permit suspension | Miami-Dade County Code § 24-42.6 |

Using an unlicensed grease hauler — second offense | Florida statewide | Minimum $5,000 fine + hauler license revocation up to 12 months | Florida used oil transport regulations |
Manifest not retained on-site for the required period | Florida statewide | Compliance violation — manifests required on-site for a minimum of 1 year since July 1, 2022 | Florida Statute 403.751 |
Ignored or clogged grease interceptor | Florida statewide | Up to $250 per failure to clean | Florida administrative penalty schedule |
Discharge of FOG into the stormwater system or waterway | Florida statewide | Up to $75,000 per day of continued discharge | Florida Statute 403.121 |
Florida food service operators eliminate every violation category in the table above by contracting GreasePros Recycling LLC, a DOT #4136566-licensed used cooking oil hauler, for scheduled collection, free container supply, and automatic Florida DEP-recognized manifest delivery after every pickup — so operators maintain inspection-ready compliance records without managing paperwork internally.

GreasePros Recycling transports all collected used cooking oil to Florida DEP-approved processing facilities under DOT #4136566 chain-of-custody documentation.
Facility technicians remove water, food solids, and contaminants from raw collected used cooking oil before refining the material into biodiesel feedstock — a renewable fuel that displaces petroleum diesel in the Florida road transportation sector — so every gallon of used cooking oil a Florida kitchen sends to GreasePros Recycling directly reduces fossil fuel consumption in Florida’s transportation sector.
Collected used cooking oil from GreasePros Recycling Florida accounts has entered the sustainable aviation fuel supply chain, reducing the per-flight carbon footprint of commercial air travel departing Florida airports.
The role of Florida restaurants in producing sustainable aviation fuel from cooking oil represents one of the highest-value end-use pathways for commercial used cooking oil waste currently operating in the state.
GreasePros Recycling diverts every collected gallon of used cooking oil from Florida stormwater systems, municipal sewer infrastructure, and landfills — directly reducing the FOG accumulation that drives drain blockages, sewer overflows, and county inspection failures that Florida commercial kitchens face most frequently.
