The Port of Tampa Bay’s environmental standards require enhanced grease disposal protocols for the maritime industry, cruise terminals, and cargo operations.
Grease Pros Recycling meets Port Authority environmental compliance requirements, including marine protection, spill prevention, and waterway contamination protocols, for the preservation of the Tampa Bay ecosystem.
Marine Protection Standards
Port kitchens must prevent any FOG discharge that threatens the bay’s delicate water balance. Grease Pros Recycling uses closed-system equipment and watertight containers to exceed marine protection standards.
Spill Prevention Plans
Port facilities require advanced containment strategies to prevent accidental releases into stormwater drains or berths. Our team implements on-site spill kits, barrier protection, and rapid containment procedures.
Cruise Terminal Compliance
Passenger dining operations at terminals must adhere to enhanced disposal scheduling and documentation procedures. We coordinate closely with terminal vendors to provide timely and discreet grease removal during ship boarding and disembarkation.
Cargo Facility Standards
Food service facilities supporting cargo crews or longshoremen must comply with international maritime environmental protocols. Grease Pros Recycling ensures all disposal is traceable and aligned with port security clearances.
Maritime Industry Protocols
Marine service providers and ship suppliers must manage onboard grease waste to avoid cross-contamination. We work directly with provisioning agents to meet port sanitation expectations and minimize risk.
Grease Pros Recycling offers free containers, emergency response services, and comprehensive compliance coverage throughout Hillsborough County. Book your first pickup today—fast, affordable, and fully certified.
