Deep Fried Fuel

Local biodiesel producer, Barry Latham, will be collecting used vegetable oil during the holiday season again. For all of you that deep fry a turkey (or even just saute some vegetables), this is a perfect opportunity to dispose of your waste vegetable oil in a very responsible manner. It must be vegetable oil (no motor oil or other petroleum products) and must be a liquid at room temperature (no animal grease/fat).

The safest way to drop off the oil is to wait until the oil has cooled to room temperature and return it to its original container. Seal it and contact ScienceGuy privately via email for a pick-up/drop-off time and location.
