The National Renderers Association estimates that up to $75 million worth of old cooking grease is stolen each year.

I'm sure that the NRA is against the bartender eliminating all cattle.

How can they call him a thief if he was getting it out of a dumpster?

Finally. An issue the entire nation can get on board with. The NRA prevention of theft of cooking grease.

sounds like a slippery slope though...

Why don’t the restaurants sell it to the recyclers?

Somehow I can't fathom placing that kind of value on old used cooking grease that can't be used for food any more.

One man's trash, another man's treasure, I guess, although if you can burn it for heat, it would save you quite a bit in heating costs.

Thieves just recycling the old, used cooking grease Americans won't recycle.

Wait. It sounds like the crime boss is making a lot more than the criminal. Does AOC know about this? Shouldn’t there be a Minimum Cut?

Grease is the word
It’s got groove it’s got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Now, grease is the way we are feeling

Sure you can make 10k a night for getting grease out of a dumpster...but the people that ultimately are willing to pay for the grease can’t be bothered to go to the restaurants that throw it out and offer to buy it...they find it cheaper and easier to work some crime network....uhm...yeah....

At $10K per night you could hire a bunch of lookouts and spot a cop car a mile away. This story smells rancid.

Send them our way, we have no one in town who does it and it costs 400 bucks for a clean-out.

Ten years ago, you could get the used oil for free at restaurants. Enterprising people could convert their diesel cars to run on it and they had free fuel. The downside was your exhaust smelled like French fries.

Hmmm...didn’t consider this one: Since old frying grease is being repurposed into a fuel (and consequently CO2, illicitly or otherwise), AOC must’ve missed adding french fries to her “list”...

Makes that pic of her chief of staff eating a burger even worse from that perspective.

“‘You can make $10,000 in a night’: Thieves target used cooking grease”

At $2.50 gallon paid at the recycle center that’s 4000 gallons per night.
