Hi There
Most of the soap that we use is made from oils and fats they sell it it soap makers as well as exported to places like India and Nepal Malaysia etc
The last price I got from a waste collector for filtered WVO was quoted at $600.00 per tonne
For Tallow it was 260.00 per tonne (used) no specs
The WVO was quoted as filtered, dried, solids removed in 1000 Litre IBC containers returnable or a $245.00 deposit paid
They say it is less than 5% FFA as well which means that you will loose a bit of it say 5% which pushes the price further up
At 20 cents a litre is a bargain about 35 cents is what they pay or trade the old oil in for new oil as done by a few of the Veg oil suppliers here in Melbourne
Coockey's is one mob that comes to mind
Any Way here you have it
Cheers
Chris

Yes, but has anyone called this dude and arranged to get his oil? He keeps emailing me!

Sorry I can't help with collection - for a couple of months yet. But I thought 'Darren was onto it' and 'Chris was just around the corner'?

BTW, Chris thanks for all that information on WVO being collected for soap and export. I guess the rising popularity of biodiesel will drive the price for WVO up and good suppliers will become well-kept secrets.

I hope the Club secures a few of these!

Cheers.

Evil Kieneval gets steaming!!!!!!!! !!!
I Called him already already
I was just waiting to see if any of these other anarchists might call... Not really just been busy..
This is the first comical thread i've seen on the forum.. Rob.
Laugh? I nearly shat myself.

yes yes yes... steam aside though, I hate to see good oil not get collected, so has anyone actually told this dude that they will collect? I told him that the Melbourne Biodiesel Club would never leave any oil source untouched and he'd soon be beating people off with a stick from the back of his restaurant, so he was confused when he contacted me to ask where all the hordes of oil hungry greenies were.
Bear in mind that there are starving biodiesel makers in some 3rd world suburbs who would give anything for an opportunity like this - you should feel blessed!

I Have a meeting with this good fellow on Thursday and i will set up and recky the waste disposal method they are using. After that if any one in the club wants to put up their hand to take on the responsibility, in return for constant supply, dont hesitate in contacting me.
Cheers Darren
