Westchester Fuels Up

Westchester County has implemented a spectacular new plan to fuel county vehicles with discarded cooking oil. The plan cuts costs for Westchester taxpayers and reduces carbon emissions.

Just announced two weeks ago, the county presently has 7 vehicles running on cooking oil alone with an additional 125 vehicles running on a mix of cooking oil and diesel fuel. This free alternative fuel is being provided by local restaurants. Restaurants are welcome to join and reap the rewards. With the county willing to collect the grease, restaurants will no longer have to pay for discarded oil to be hauled away.

A win-win situation that saves money for restaurant owners and taxpayers.
