General Biodiesel Offers Cooking Oil Recycling
Central Market is one of nine locations throughout Puget Sound where you can drop off your used cooking oil.
If you're one of the many who are left wondering what to do with your used cooking oil after frying that Thanksgiving turkey, General Biodiesel may be able to help.
For the third straight year, the company has partnered with King County Wastewater Management to set up, "biofuel banks," which allows local residents with an easy and green way to dispose of that used oil. Rather than allowing it to end up in sewer lines, General Biodiesel takes that oil and turns it into locally refined, low-carbon biodiesel fuel.
This year, the company has expanded it's Thanksgiving oil collection to Shoreline, setting up one of their biofuel banks at Central Market (15505 Westminster Way N.). The tank is located to the right of the main front doors. All types of vegetable oil are accepted, and the tanks are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
