ECUA provides a place on beach to dump cooking oils as well as the infamous creme colored cans for recycling. Let's get with it Pensacola, we are saving money by recycling and helping America as a whole.
On Wednesday, September 9, Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) opened a free Residential Cooking Oil Disposal Station on Via de Luna Drive, between the Pensacola Beach Elementary School and Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church.
The site, adjacent to the green recycling bins, allows residents to pick-up free recycling containers to use for disposal of household cooking grease and oil.
Nearly 50 percent of all sewage overflows are caused by the improper disposal of residential use of fats, oils, and grease. These overflows are not just public health issues; they can potentially cause serious damage to our environment and pollute our water.
What happens when you fry bacon, broil hamburgers or bake meat? When you're finished, what remains in your cooking pan? The answer is FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease), a substance when poured down your drain or into your garbage disposal, will build up over time, constrict the flow of wastewater and eventually cause sewers to back-up into homes and overflow sewage.
The ECUA Residential Cooking Oil Disposal Program is designed to assist ECUA customers capture and dispose of their cooking oil in an environmentally safe and effective way.
The free empty container can be picked-up, then once filled; it can be exchanged for another empty one, ready to repeat the process. Once the cooking oil and grease is collected it's then recycled as biodiesel fuel.
