Residential Waste Cooking Oil Recycling
Don’t waste that precious waste cooking oil by pouring it down the drain. Why not turn it into environmentally friendly bio-diesel instead?
Why?
Pouring it down the drain pollutes the waters ways and causes clogged pipes,making it costly to repair as well as costly to the environment.
Once converted to bio-fuel, it reduces the dependence on fossil fuels and thereby lowers ones carbon footprint.
How?
Save your waste cooking oil (liquid only) in a strong plastic container with a secure lid. (The original oil container works well; yogurt containers don’t.)
Deposit it at any of our Residential Waste Oil Collection Bins, and we’ll process it into bio-fuel.
