11 18 2011: General Biodiesel news flash Attention At-Home Chefs: How to Responsibly Dispose of Your Used Cooking Oil |
Each year, city and county governments spend millions of taxpayer dollars ridding sewer lines of cooking fats, grease, and debris. Since this waste stream starts at home, clearing residential lines of this same grease makes the holidays the busiest time of year for expensive house calls by your local plumber. You have much better things to do with your money, and we have a free solution that transforms your used cooking oil and grease into locally refined, low-carbon biodiesel fuel. This recycled waste is used to power vehicles and heat homes! Starting in 2009, General Biodiesel and King County Wastewater Management have partnered to provide at-home chefs and residents throughout the Puget Sound region with an easy and “green” way to dispose of their used cooking oil. Bring it to a designated collection container and keep it out of your sewer lines. See locations below. We accept all types of vegetable oil. Every gallon we collect is turned into biodiesel fuel at our facility in South Seattle. Our mission creates new local green jobs, keeps your lines clear of fats, promotes sustainable fuel production, and is Generating Positive Energy™ right here where our families live, work and gather for the holidays! Simply pour your oil into any one of our collection tanks for recycling. The tanks are available at your convenience, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week in the following locations: Bellevue Bellingham Burien Federal Way Georgetown / SODO Madison Park Mercer Island Olympia Renton Sammamish Shoreline |
