Our group has begun to collect WVO from local restaurants and ran into the problem of the waste oil collector (who was getting paid to haul WVO away) threatening us that once the oil was in his container it was his and we would be prosecuted if we "stole" his oil. What an impotent threat! We merely had the restaurants place the WVO back in the containers it came in (5 gal plastic jugs) and place it next to the trash. Our oil now! The WVO collector then apparently made some threat to one of the restaurants which had a wholly unintended response I am sure. The restaurateur..who at that point was unsure as to whether or not he could trust us to take all of his oil and so had wanted to hedge his bets by continuing to pay for WVO removal canceled his contract...and notified every other restaurant in town that we were hauling it away for free. Holy cow! Do we have oil now! And the best thing is there is no investment in equipment to collect or store the WVO. We simply stop by end pick up the cubic jugs stacking them in the back of a heavy duty pickup...which we have converted to SVO. Since the plastic jugs are not rodent proof...and I suspect will deteriorate in sunlight we have begun advertising for 265 gal. fuel oil tanks for more secure long term storage and are picking them up for free. Recycling the jugs is becoming somewhat of a problem though as our local recycler is complaining about the volume. Of course they used to just go in the trash.
