What is the benefit of collecting 5,063 pounds of used, smelly grease and oil? It can be recycled into an equal amount of biodiesel!
The City of Mesa collected 5,063 pounds ? or 675 gallons ? of used grease and oil over the two-month holiday collection period. Collection barrels were placed at five fire station locations throughout Mesa. The project was a joint effort with the City of Mesa Water Resources Department, Mesa Fire and Medical Department, and REVBiodiesel of Gilbert, AZ.
