I know I give E town a hard time however for a small town they are very proactive when it come to recycling and other "green" activities.
The latest adventure Enterprise is embarking on:
They are requesting all the restaurants (and home owners) that have grease traps to donate the oil to the city. The city will come buy clean their "grease trap" and hall away the yummy oil. Enterprise (I have no idea how they are going to do it) will then use the oil to fuel their fleet. For example the buses that take the kids to school, the garbage trucks and other city owned vehicles (not police cars they need gas to go fast).
The sad thing is no restaurants have volunteered (i have no idea why not i mean someone will clean your shit and haul it away for free!!!) So now the mayor is going to business to business personally to ask for the donation. Pretty cool.
I wonder when the oil is being burned if it will smell like fried chicken?

I am SO impressed that I am speechless. This is awesome. When did you move from Alabama to Seattle?! Restaurants are charged to dispose of their grease. This will be a free service and now the schools will save money on fuel too. What a win win situation. Wow. I need to bring this up to our school districts.
