Originally published: June 2025 | Updated: August 2026 | Reviewed by Grease Pros — Florida DEP-certified used cooking oil transporter (DOT #4136566) and Miami-Dade DERM-permitted liquid waste transporter

Used cooking oil pickup in Kissimmee is regulated at the point of collection: Florida Administrative Code Rule 62-710.401(4) prohibits a generator, including a restaurant, from using a transporter that lacks an EPA identification number, state certification, or current state registration. 

GreasePros Recycling LLC, a licensed Florida used cooking oil hauler or transporter operating under USDOT #4136566 with over 20 years of operation, provides free lockable containers, flexible pickup scheduling, and emergency service across Kissimmee — from the 192 corridor and Vine Street to Celebration and Old Town. 

Key Takeaways

• Rule 62-710.401(4) bars Kissimmee restaurants from using a transporter that lacks an EPA identification number or current Florida certification or registration, subject to the exceptions in Statutes 403.767(1) and 403.754(2); the certification threshold itself, under Florida Statute 403.767, applies to transporters moving more than 500 gallons of used oil annually over public highways, with statutory exceptions for certain small-volume and self-transport situations.
• Kissimmee’s tourism-driven volume — from Old Town food trucks to theme-park-area hotel kitchens — creates seasonal swings that fixed monthly pickup schedules often can’t absorb.
• GreasePros Recycling’s USDOT #4136566 registration is independently verifiable through FMCSA’s SAFER database; its Florida DEP transporter status is documented on the company’s own licensing page and has not been independently cross-checked against a public DEP registry for this article.
• Collected cooking oil is transported to Florida DEP-approved facilities for recycling into biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel, per the company’s own operational records.

No contracts, no hidden fees — schedule a free container delivery with GreasePros Recycling and keep your Kissimmee kitchen inspection-ready.

What Used Cooking Oil Pickup Services Does GreasePros Recycling Provide in Kissimmee?

GreasePros Recycling provides scheduled used cooking oil collection, free container delivery, and emergency retrieval for restaurants, food trucks, and institutional kitchens across Kissimmee and Osceola County.

The company states it delivers free lockable containers in 55-gallon, 140-gallon, and 240-gallon sizes, plus under-counter tanks for tighter kitchen layouts, and schedules weekly, biweekly, or on-demand pickups matched to each location’s oil output. 

Kissimmee’s food service landscape spans casual dining along Vine Street and Celebration Boulevard, high-turnover buffets and theme-park-area food courts, school and healthcare kitchens, and food trucks working Old Town and seasonal festivals — each with different volume and storage needs.

GreasePros Recycling documents its Florida transporter credentials directly on its credentials and licensing page, giving Kissimmee restaurant groups a single reference point whether they operate one location or several across Central Florida.

What Regulations Apply to Used Cooking Oil Pickup in Kissimmee?

Florida regulates used cooking oil pickup through three related but distinct provisions, and restaurants generating the oil, transporters moving it, and the state’s certification threshold are each governed slightly differently.

The Generator’s Obligation

Rule 62-710.401(4) prohibits any generator — including a Kissimmee restaurant — from using a transporter that does not have an EPA identification number and is not currently certified or registered with the State of Florida. This rule places the burden on the restaurant to confirm its hauler’s status, not a blanket statement that every restaurant must be certified.

The Transporter’s Certification Threshold

Florida Statute 403.767 and its implementing rule, 62-710.600, require certification for any transporter that moves more than 500 gallons of used oil annually over public highways — not for every hauler regardless of volume. 

The statute lists specific exceptions, including certain small-quantity and self-transport situations, so restaurant owners evaluating a hauler should confirm which category applies rather than assume a blanket rule.

Registration, Separately

Florida Statute 403.754 and Rule 62-710.500 require used oil transporters to register annually, with registration valid from July 1 through June 30 of the following year. Registration and certification are related but separate requirements under Florida law.

What Container and Pickup Options Are Available in Kissimmee?

Container size and pickup frequency depend on kitchen type, fryer volume, and Kissimmee’s tourism-driven seasonal swings tied to the theme-park calendar. 

GreasePros Recycling adjusts recommendations for each kitchen after reviewing actual output, rather than applying a single fixed schedule.

Kissimmee Used Cooking Oil Service Options

Kissimmee Operation Type	Recommended Container	Typical Pickup Frequency
Café or casual diner (Vine St., Celebration Blvd.)	55-gallon drum	Monthly
Food truck (Old Town, festivals, events)	Under-counter tank	On-demand
Buffet or theme-park-area food court	240-gallon container	Weekly or surge-responsive
School or healthcare facility kitchen	140-gallon container	Biweekly

These are general starting points by operation type rather than measured volume data; GreasePros Recycling confirms the right container and schedule after assessing each kitchen directly. 

The company offers same-day emergency pickup when a fryer overflow or storage backup can’t wait for the next scheduled visit.

Why Choose GreasePros Recycling in Kissimmee?

GreasePros Recycling’s local dispatch covers The Loop, Downtown Kissimmee, and the 192 corridor, and the company states every pickup includes a signed collection manifest — no contracts, no hidden fees. 

Its free container program and flexible scheduling are built for the volume swings Kissimmee’s tourism economy creates, from a single food truck to a multi-location restaurant group.

Bottom Line

• Restaurants don’t need their own certification to receive UCO pickup — Rule 62-710.401(4) requires them to confirm their transporter holds current state registration, and certification where the transporter exceeds the 500-gallon annual threshold under Statute 403.767, which contains its own defined exceptions.
• Transporter certification under Statute 403.767 applies specifically to haulers exceeding 500 gallons annually, with defined exceptions; registration is a separate, annual requirement under Statute 403.754.
• GreasePros Recycling’s USDOT #4136566 registration is independently verifiable via FMCSA’s SAFER database; its Florida DEP status remains company-documented rather than independently cross-checked for this page.
• Local grease interceptor requirements should be confirmed directly with Osceola County Utilities, since no specific published ordinance chapter could be verified for this page.
