Holiday Cooking Oil Collection, Bently Biofuels

Description

Bently Biofuels and The Western Sustainability Pollution and Prevention Network (WSPPN), are teaming to provide collection sites around the region so that residents have an environmentally safe way to get rid of cooking oil used to deep fry their holiday turkeys.  During the holiday season the two organizations are reaching out to the Reno/Tahoe, Carson Valley, and Carson City communities to encourage recycling of cooking oil used at homes throughout the region. Collection bins will be placed in various locations throughout the community from Thanksgiving until New Year’s Eve.

To recycle your used cooking oil, simply allow it to cool and pour it into a leak-proof container. Be sure to remove any bones, food particles, and any other trash or contaminants. Then take the oil to a drop-off location near you. For locations refer to the Bently Biofuels Facebook page, carsonvalleynv.org and go to News, the Business Environmental Program website (http://www.unrbep.org) or call 866.441.2884. Pour the used cooking oil into the clearly marked bins from Bently Biofuels and take home your containers.
