The Agriculture Dept. requires a renderer's license ($800 a year) to collect "inedible" grease. After a renderer picks up the grease, they heat it to 180 degrees farenheit and now you can pick it up, ship it, do whatever you will. You also need a license for the vehicle that picks up the grease. I think it's about $50. You might have a loophole. If you get your oil directly from the french fryer where it was heated to around 350 degrees, it is definitely edible. Thus, it may not be covered by the regulations. You might also be able to buy rendered oil from the renderer. ----- Original Message ----- From: TJ Ferreira To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 1:24 PM Subject: [biofuel] Is it true it is illegal to collect fat from fast food fryers in Calfornia?
I just heard it is illegal to collect waste frying oil from any-place in Calfornia. Does anyone know if this is true or not and point me to legal documents on the web that state this. I just purchased my first diesel and am about to get into making my own biodiesel here in Northern California but if it is illegal to collect oil, then how would I be able to make inexpensive bio-diesel? Or, can one buy legally waste oil someplace to make bio-diesel?
