Frying up a turkey this Thanksgiving? If you live in or around Chandler, AZ, you can recycle that used turkey oil by donating it to AZ Biodiesel, a Gilbert-based alternative fuel manufacturer.
AZ Biodiesel is turning leftover grease from local hotels, restaurants and hospitals into fuel that costs 30 cents less than standard diesel fuel and boosts fuel efficiency by as much as 3 miles to the gallon.
Add to that the fact there there is no downside to biodiesel fuel production, the only byproduct is glycerin which can be used in dust abatement projects.
If you’d like to donate your used oil now through December 7, you can drop it off at one of the 7 Gilbert Firestations and at Big Earls Greasy Eats in Cave Creek.
You can donate your oil year round at the Biodiesel manufacturing plant located near Cooper and Guadalupe Rds in Gilbert, so stop clogging your drain and make your used cooking oil work for the environment!
