The Louisville Biodiesel Cooperative, MSD and the The Green Triangle in the 9th District Announce Waste Cooking Oil Recycling Partnership

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The Louisville Biodiesel Cooperative, the Louisville/Jefferson County Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) and The Green Triangle in the 9th District are pleased to announce a partnership to recycle Waste Cooking Oil.

The first recycling station is: Louisville Biodiesel at 1501 Portland Avenue - Louisville, Kentucky 40203. 

Contact [email protected] and (502) 727-5673 to walk you through the easy steps.

Louisville Biodiesel has already collected over a ton of Waste Cooking Oil for the local production and distribution of High Grade Bio-Diesel Fuel to benefit School Children and Small Family Farmers in Louisville and Kentucky.

Louisville Biodiesel is using the waste cooking oil to blend with its own waste oil collections to provide a low-cost, low polluting, high performance, non-toxic and non-carcinogenic alternative to petroleum diesel.

MSD's Senior Technical Services Engineer Wesley Sydnor, PE explains, "we're working with Tina Ward-Pugh and Louisville Biodiesel in several ways. First, free of charge we're providing reusable 1-gallon kitchen recycling pails with easy-to-use plastic lids for residents to recycle waste cooking oils. Grease/oil down the drain is an enormous issue for MSD in terms of overflows due to grease blockages. Residents can drop off their waste cooking oil at Louisville Biodiesel and feel good that this waste is being recycled locally into fuel for local school buses and small family farmers."

Cooperative member Christian Thalacker adds, "we look forward to expanding our relationship with Louisville/Jefferson County Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD), The Green Triangle and other districts in Metropolitan Louisville. This is a great opportunity to reduce our city's waste treatment costs while providing cost-effective biodiesel ... a low-cost, low polluting, high performance, non-toxic and non-carcinogenic alternative to petroleum diesel."

Councilwoman Tina Ward-Pugh, 9th District concurs, "with Thanksgiving  coming up, the cooperative wanted residents to know about a drop off site for used residential cooking oil.  More sites are in the works, but for now, if you are interested in dropping off your used cooking oil, you can do so at 1501 Portland Avenue.  To do so, please call Christian Thalacker at (502) 727-5673 or email [email protected] and he will walk you through the simple drop off process.
