Zap;
There are people standing in line even around here in the city, BUT some sneaky container companies have started complaining that they have contracts with different restaurants for pickup.
Now the container people are asking the city to make WVO'ers have hazard hauling licenses. The container people were selling the grease to WVO-bio-producers to boot. What a racket.
The bigger 'raunts by law have to have container companies on the books for pickup otherwise they get into trouble with rodent/bug control side of licenses. I can understand the need to keep the place clean. It's hard enough having snooty Chefs making big messes all over the place, needing to keep up with dirty oil makes it harder.
Most will save a carboy or two for greasers, unless you stop coming by for more than 2 weeks in a row (notify them about vacations is understood).
I still get enough from mom-pop places to keep my 55 gal container near full.
