Run the numbers

For Restaurants

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

We broker the account, not the pickup. Your kitches keep its current hauler, its current cadence, and its terms — and trades a slow-paying national roll-up for a vetted local buyer at today's spot rate.

No contract

Your pickup cadence, your hauler. We never lock you in.

Paid by the pound

Today's UCO spot rates track $0.45–$0.64/lb domestic. Get paid in full — not a discounted trade-credit.

Free to enroll

Fees settle from the buyer on signed-account close. The kitchen never receives an invoice — at close, or ever.

For Collectors

Vetted south-central Michigan leads — and a $500+ flat fee per signed account.

If you're an EGLE-licensed collector with Michigan pickup coverage, GLFS routes you pre-qualified local accounts on a finder-fee agreement. Sourcing is opt-in per account; we sort, you close.

Vetted south-central MI leads

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

$500+ flat finder fee

Per signed-account, settled from your side on close. 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, no commitment, no fee from the kitchen.

02
We match you locally

Great Lakes Feedstock Solutions pairs you with a vetted, EGLE-licensed collector — typically within your county. Domestic only; 45Z, RIN, and LCFS-compliant feedstock.

03
You get paid — we settle the buyer

A Michigan finder-fee agreement is drafted. On signed-account close the buyer pays us (typically $500+ per account, or an ongoing commission). You keep the pickup, at a better rate.
