Before being allowed to pick up the WVO, i've got to submit everything (vehicle, tanks, storage, processing area, etc. to the appropriate local authorities. If they like what they see, they issue a permit for the transport of oils, fats, alcohols, soaps and fatty acids, as well as a further permit for storage and non-feed 'recycling' of same. I've also got to be able to prove, at any given point in time, that no waste stream hits the environment. Even the wash water will need to be recycled. The local volunteer fire department will be one of my first customers. They'll get the stuff at cost. Poor guys stand around intersections during lunch hour with their helmets out, trolling for tips. Gets hot in those black leather suits. : ( andres yver ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> $9.95 domain names from Yahoo!.
