Just 1 litre of oil can contaminate 1 million litres of water.

Split oil can pollute streams, rivers and, it soaks through the soil and rock, groundwater. Many drains lead directly to rivers, streams or lakes, and if you allow oil to enter a drain it can have the same effect as you pouring it directly into a watercourse. Oil is toxic and harmful to plants and animals and a threat to their habitats. In the ground and soil oils coat or kill the organisms which are necessary to maintain the environmental balance.
Oil spills can make drinking water sources unfit for use and is very expensive to put right. In the UK our drinking water supplies come from rivers and groundwater. We must protect them both from pollution.
 

Used Cooking Oil Recycling process

The Environmental Benefits of Recycling Oil

Recycling oil is good for the environment and your bottom line in a couple of important ways.

Businesses in Georgia that fail to properly dispose of their waste cooking oil run the risk of incurring significant fines. Fryer oil recycling has also turned into a pretty lucrative business and allows food service companies to recoup some of their oil purchase costs.

Not every business or fryer oil recycler is detail oriented when it comes to tracking fryer oil recycling. That leaves room for bad actors to misreport how much oil they collect or recycle for their customers, which in turn lets those companies underpay their food service recycling clients.'

When you choose a company to recycle your waste oil, make sure to learn about their reporting system and how they provide transparent accountability in their recycling services.

The Many Environmental Benefits of Fryer Oil Recycling

Fryer oil, or waste vegetable oil, can be turned into feed stock or biodiesel fuel by cutting-edge waste oil recycling facilities like the one operated by Southern Green Industries. You can help keep waste oil out of sewers, landfills and our local environment while getting paid for your efforts.

Turning food waste into clean burning fuel to power vehicles or food for livestock is also far preferable to having that oil pollute the environment or clog city sewers.

The Community Benefits of Fryer Oil Recycling

Prior to recycling or the regulation of FOG, clogged sewers and backups were a frequent problem for municipalities and watershed management professionals. Oils of any kind aren’t good for the environment, and they shouldn’t just be dumped down drains. Food service businesses in Atlanta are required to adhere to strict FOG disposal guidelines. At Southern Green Industries we’re committed to helping local businesses adhere to those rules and get a healthy rebate for their efforts.
