Recycle Used Cooking Oil This Thanksgiving (and any day!)

This Thanksgiving, turn waste into energy by bringing your used cooking oil to RIRRC. Newport Biodiesel picks up the oil from us and turns it into fuel, right here in Rhode Island! And remember, used cooking oil should NEVER be poured down the drain - this can lead to serious sewer maintenance issues. Many cities and towns post information on Fats, Oils and Grease (or “FOG” as it is often referred to) for their residents. For example, here's a great reference about FOG from the City of Providence: http://www.providenceri.com/DPW/environmental/fog

Happy Thanksgiving RI!
