With Thanksgiving recently passed, a thought to consider is what to do with kitchen fat, oil and grease (FOG) that’s left over from all that cooking or after deep-frying a turkey. For interested residents, EDCO waste and recycling services has a free, safe and environmentally friendly option for disposing of household FOG.
Residents are invited to simply collect used, discarded FOG in a leak-proof container and drop it off free of charge at EDCO’s “Buyback Center,” 2755 California Ave. The service is offered Tuesdays through Saturdays each week, from 8am to 4pm.
The FOG will then ultimately be processed, filtered and converted into bio-diesel by a third-party processor.
It is important that participants do not mix FOG with any other oils, such as motor oil or gear oil, that inhibit the process of converting the FOG into biodiesel.
