Go Green With Your Grease!

So, did you deep fry your turkey and NOT burn your house down? Well congrats on both fronts! And now comes exciting news for you environmentally friendly deep frying foodies! This year a sanitary district down in the East Bay’s Contra Costa County collected fryer grease from Thanksgiving cooking. It’s a pilot program at Ironhouse Sanitary District where they’re hoping to recycle all of that grease into bio-diesel for use in school buses!  This is a win- win situation, because big quantities of grease, when dumped improperly, can clog pipes and cause sewers to overflow.  Yes, now even this Thanksgiving leftover – fryer grease – can have another use!
