VegNRG collects used
cooking oil and grease in the San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange and LA
Counties. |
 |
| Grease and
cooking oil collection is
FREE and grease trap cleaning is usually around 22 cents per gallon. |
| Over the years
we have seen hundreds of thousands of gallons of perfectly
good cooking oil (for vegetable oil cars) get turned into hog feed or dumped into the landfills. So we
started our VegOil program. |
| |
|
| Our goal is to put this
great natural resource to good use. Recycling waste vegetable oil as
fuel can
help us gain independence from foreign and domestic fossil fuels, reduce
pollution in our environment, minimize our effect on global climate
change and
help pass a Clean, Healthy Earth on to the next generation. |
| |
|
Getting started is easy, Just give us
a call at 909-762-3948, we'll send a truck over with one of our
waste cooking oil containers and that's it, your set up. no charge, no hassle. Our driver
will drop off a collection slip when we pick up your oil so your in
compliance with city codes. Keep it simple. |

One of the biggest
roadblocks to producing an oil suitable for use in grease powered cars is the
avoidance of hydrogenated oils. In response to public demand
the food industry has been changing, kitchens and processors
who have always used lard and hydrogenated oils have started
switching to pure vegetable oil as a way to provide a
healthier product for their customer |
| |
| We thank the companies with
the courage and commitment to make the switch and hope that more will
follow in their foot steps . This is great for us as a food consuming
public and it provides a readily available fuel source for our Vegetable
oil
cars.

| Since
the mid 1990's we have seen the introduction of Bio-diesel into the (almost)
mainstream of US fuel usage. Most of the oil that can't be used in
straight Vegetable oil cars we recycle into Biodiesel. This is
far better than the alternative of feeding it to the hogs, spraying it
on dirt roads or dumping it in the landfill. The only drawback with
Biodiesel is that we start with the same raw material, waste vegetable
oil, then we
add chemicals and additional processing costs so the end product
usually costs the same or more than petro-diesel, making it difficult
for the average consumer to choose the earth friendly product. Filtered
waste vegetable oil (WVO) is still the most earth friendly and cost effective fuel source. |
