I was recently emailed this by someone who did not register on the forum, but sent it directly to me.

To Whom it May Concern,

I am a qualified chef, newly joined an Italian restaurant in (Clifton Hill (Melbourne) Victoria. I don’t know to whom I should contact to get waste deep fryer oil picked up for recycling or to dump. I am very worried about that. I would really appreciate if you can send me any information regarding this matter.

Thanking you,

yours faithfully,
Sam(0433948440)
Melbourne (Victoria)



If you do contact this person and arrange for collection, please post a message up here to that effect so that others do not also contact him.

Hi all
Is this a case of The quick or the walking
Cheers

A neat idea to arrange for oil collection.
Trying to get a more virgin source of oil the moment a new cafe opened in town I went a approached the owner about a week after he opened. The conversation went like this.
Me: What happens to your oil?
Owner :I dont know who to get to collect it
Me : can I collect it?
Owner : How much money is in that?
Me : Ummmm...?
Owner: Well how much do you normally charge to collect it?

Needless to say we are both happy with our arrangement!

Can you please tell me of the quantity available per week ?
We could arrange for an empty bulk container to be left there and be picked up at a convenient time
Plz advise

Good on you Chris well done
I would say that you should offer the guy a bit of money for it or be one of His good customers or better still, both
The waste oil collectors will be on to him and they will offer him up to 20 Cents per litre when they find him on their next run, so keep on good terms as well as lookout for them
Have no doubt that sooner or later they will be on to it
Just some feedback from experience
Cheers
Chris

Not wishing to cause an influx of biodieselers (is that a phrase?) to Mount Gambier, but at the moment at least, nobody is paying for waste oil.
I also collect from across the border (about 30 k's away) and I save it from going into landfill...... (no collection)
I am a customer of all my collection places, one he empties into a bucket and I collect from within his kitchen.
Needless to say I dont imagine free oil being long term.

Has anyone called this dude yet? He's just emailed me to say that he hasn't heard anything about his oil collection. I've replied and told him that I've posted a message and hopefully someone from Melbourne will get hold of him soon. Come on guys - free oil here, I thought there's be a race to be first to claim it!

Chris, are the waste oil collectors you refer to using it for biodiesel? If not, what do they do with the waste oil to make it worth 20c per litre to them?

Thanks.

Cheers.
