The San Diego County based recycling and disposal company EDCO is now collecting vegetable oils and grease at all five of its recycling centers in the County for eventual conversion to biodiesel. The locations in La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Fallbrook, Ramona, and San Marcos will be accepting oil and grease during normal recycling hours and shipping it to New Leaf Biofuel, San Diego’s only local producer of biodiesel.
Fats, oils, and greases can cause sewer backups when poured down the drain, but can be processed into a sustainable biofuel when properly collected. Restaurants can continue to enjoy grease collection service directly from New Leaf, but now consumers have the chance to contribute to clean transportation fuels at the same time they drop off their recycling at any EDCO location.
