WVO Container
Below is the type of container (30 or 60lt) for the waste vegetable or cooking oil I would loan you if you want one. If you wish your own arrangment of collection such as in 25lt containers, no problem. Entirely up to yourself.
Officialdom Strikes!
Official dictats don't you just love them! Waste Transfer Notices (WTN's) The Environment Agency's collection and re-cycling of waste cooking oil is only for collections which are intended for re-selling or processing for commercial use. For the personal production of biodiesel which is intended for non-commercial use, as in my case, does not require a Waste Carriers License. BUT if your business requires them then I'll supply them.
Waste Vegetable Oil (Cooking Oil) Collection Service for Chefs in Kent
The whole object of this website is to explain the reasons and purpose of my waste vegetable/cooking oil collection service and how it can possibly be an avantage to you (and lets face it an avantage to me too!). Plus for those who are interested about the benefits to the enviroment and a bit about the making of the end product. Biodiesel that is! To run cars on that is! So if your interested have a look at this page that tells you more about Biodiesel.
SO, QUESTION:
If you run a fish and chip shop, or you
are a chef in a restaurant or any establishment that you’d consider finding an alternative means of disposing
of your used Waste Vegetable Oil (or WVO) which enables you to benefit financially, at the same time helping
the environment and re-cycling to boot! So if you buy your new fresh vegetable cooking oil from a supplier
(tied in with the requisite contract no doubt) Who then takes away the used oil without paying you anything!
Then a) He either makes biofuel out of it himself and sells it or b) Sells it on to someone who does or
possibly takes it abroad to sell it. If the answer is a 'yes' then read on!
THE SOLUTION:
So if you're in Kent or Maidstone
even, you can buy your supply of new vegetable/cooking oil from a cash and carry (or whereever). Then, when you've
finished with it, I came along and collect it. Then I pay you for it! Plus you are re-cycling and all
accomplished with as little disturbance and inconvenience to yourself as possible. Its just about as simple
as that! Good eh!
I will provide you, if required, a 30 litre drum (or bigger if needed). I will pay you a price for your oil per litre that is agreeable to to you and to me. Then when the drum is full you can phone, text or e-mail me and I will came along and collect it.
I then take it home and process the oil into biodiesel through the process of transferification.
Please note here:
THIS OIL IS USED FOR MY OWN PERSONNEL USE ONLY. I'm going all offical here but as a note I am allowed 2500
litres a year before you are liable for any tax payments. I only have one car which I use for my work but
I'm nowhere near that limit.
