Fry food. Donate grease. Reduce emissions. Save our planet.
Did you know that the oil you use to fry your favorite foods could fuel an 18–wheeler?
The Gulfsouth Youth Biodiesel Project (GYBP), a program of Operation REACH, Inc., is collecting used cooking oil from households. All cooking oil will be used to produce eco–friendly biodiesel fuel. Frying oil should not be handled until it has fully cooled. Please use a funnel to pour oil back into its original container before dropping off.
The used cooking oil collected by the GYBP is made into biodiesel fuel by youth participants involved in the program.
