The first recycling station, Louisville Biodiesel, is placed in Kentucky, US.
Louisville Biodiesel is using the waste cooking oil to blend with its own waste oil collections to provide a low-cost, low polluting, high performance, non-toxic and non-carcinogenic alternative to petroleum diesel.
The recycling station has collected over a ton of waste cooking oil for the local production and distribution of high grade bio-diesel fuel to benefit School Children and Small Family Farmers in Louisville and Kentucky.
MSD senior technical services engineer Wesley Sydnor said grease/oil down the drain is an enormous issue for MSD in terms of overflows due to grease blockages.
"Residents can drop off their waste cooking oil at Louisville Biodiesel and feel good that this waste is being recycled locally into fuel for local school buses and small family farmers," Sydnor said.
