This company promotes criminal activity through it's employees. They claim to pay for waste cooking oil recieved from the restaurant industry but checks are never sent to the restaurant owners. They also give their route drivers quotas on the amount of oil that they must collect prior to returning to the facility and are instructed to use all means possible. Several Coastal drivers have been arrested for stealing this oil from restaurants and honest companies in the industry.
Below is a news report from Birmingham, Alabama.

Their were also arrests made in Georgia and pending cases in South Carolina.
Of course the owners (Mark Hefner and Tasha Biering) of this company will state that it was either a mistake on the drivers part or they had no knowledge of such activities...
One incident is a mistake, multiple incidences is standard operating procedure.
From what I can tell, this company is operating in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Florida.
They are also somehow affiliated with SYSCO Foodservice.
