EDCO: FOG recycling & Thanksgiving one-day delay

Share

Courtesy of EDCO, http://www.edcodisposal.com/san-diego/, a family  owned and locally operated waste collection and recycling company.

imageIn observance of the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, November 26, 2015, EDCO will not be performing any collection services and all public disposal sites, buyback centers and customer service offices will be closed.

As a result, all regularly scheduled collection services for Thursday, November 26th and Friday, November 27th, will experience a one-day delay in service.

EDCO would like to remind residents that kitchen fat, oil and grease (FOG) that’s left over from daily cooking, or after deep frying a Thanksgiving turkey, can be recycled!

For interested residents, EDCO has a free, safe and more environmentally friendly option for disposing of household FOG at any of our Buyback Recycling Centers.

Residents are asked to simply collect used discarded FOG in a leak-proof container and drop it off free of charge at one of EDCO’s conveniently located Buyback Centers. The FOG will then ultimately be processed, filtered and converted into bio-diesel by a third party processor.

It is important that participants do not mix FOG with any other oils, such as motor oil or gear oil, that inhibit the process of converting the FOG into biodiesel.
