Estimated market value

What your oil is actually worth, today.

Punch in your weekly volume and we will roll it into a monthly weight estimate — then hand the number into intake so GLFS can pair you with a screened local collector who will quote a real rate for your kitchen.

Actual rates depend on oil quality, volume, location, pickup frequency, and the collector’s quote. We do not publish an exact public per-pound rate.

For Restaurants

No contract with GLFS. Paid by the pound. Free to enroll.

We broker the account, not the pickup. Your kitchen keeps its current hauler, its current cadence, and its terms — and trades a slow-paying national roll-up for a better-paying local buyer.

No contract with GLFS

No contract with GLFS; if you choose a collector, you review its pickup terms before signing.

Paid by the pound

Actual rates depend on oil quality, volume, location, pickup frequency, and the collector's quote — get paid in full, not as discounted trade-credit.

Free to enroll

Fees settle from the buyer per the negotiated finder-fee agreement. The kitchen never receives an invoice — at close, or ever.

Verified collectors

Every collector is screened by GLFS — before we introduce a kitchen.

Concerns about unlicensed haulers and oil theft are why GLFS exists in the first place. We screen prospective collectors in plain terms — pickup radius, equipment, payment cadence — and disclose what we have confirmed. We do not overclaim beyond that.

GLFS screens prospective collectors

Before an introduction, we confirm pickup radius, equipment capacity, and payment cadence with the collector directly. We screen — we do not claim collectors are fully vetted, licensed, or tax-credit-eligible until documentation is in hand.

Confirmed with the collector, not self-attested

An email pitch is not a reference. We follow up with each collector and confirm the basics — pickup radius, equipment, and how they pay — before a kitchen ever lands in their queue.

No oil changes hands through us

GLFS brokers the account — we do not own trucks, route pickups, or take title to your oil. The kitchen’s barrel is settled between you and the collector you choose, on their manifest. Nothing to skim, nothing to divert.

Closed by the kitchen, on the kitchen’s terms

The handoff agreement is signed by you and the collector, with a copy to GLFS. No multi-year roll-up contract — no surprise trade-credit. The oil leaves your kitchen with provenance intact; the check comes back from the buyer you chose.

Roll-up brokers do not make this list. The kitchen’s name stays attached to the handoff — GLFS only brokers the introduction and the finder-fee settlement.

For Collectors

Screened south-central Michigan leads — and a negotiated flat fee per signed account.

GLFS screens prospective collectors and routes you pre-qualified local accounts on a negotiated finder-fee agreement. Sourcing is opt-in per account; we sort, you close.

Screened south-central MI leads

Every kitchen is volume-confirmed, locally verified, and ready to close — no cold-outreach grind.

$500+ flat finder fee

Per signed-account, negotiated in writing and paid within 30 days after the first completed pickup. Larger accounts scale that up.

Ongoing commission (optional)

Opt-in to a % of monthly volume we sourced — recurring revenue, not a one-shot fee.

Why kitchens switch

We broker the account, not the pickup.

National roll-ups lock restaurants into multi-year service-on-site contracts and delay the check. GLFS pairs you with a better-paying local buyer and steps out of the way.

01
Submit your kitchen

A 2-minute intake: business name, city, contact, weekly UCO volume. No contract with GLFS, no commitment, no fee from the kitchen.

02
We match you locally

Great Lakes Feedstock Solutions pairs you with a screened collector — typically within your county. Domestic-only sourcing; you keep your pickup cadence and hauler.

03
You get paid — we settle the buyer

A Michigan finder-fee agreement is negotiated in writing before GLFS releases your protected lead. Payment is due within 30 days after the collector's first completed pickup. You keep the pickup, at a better rate.
