RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION LTD. 
By
Buckinghamshire residents have helped to recycle over
28,000 litres of used cooking oil since 2009 at the
county's 10 household waste recycling centres, which when
converted into electricity is enough to make nearly 7
million cups of tea.
Buckinghamshire County Council teamed up with Living Fuels,
a renewable energy producer, to install cooking oil
containers at the recycling centres. Living Fuels recycle
the collected oil into bio-liquid, which is used to
generate clean electricity and heat for customers all
around the UK.
Throwing used cooking oil down the sink can cause damage to
drains and sewers and is a wasted resource. It can also be
dangerous to wildlife if oil finds it way into lakes and
ponds.
Steven Adams, Cabinet Member for Environment, said: "I
would like to thank residents for making use of this
service. They have made a very valuable contribution to
saving precious resources from going to waste. The more we
use these services, the more we can do to improve our
environment for future generations.
For more information on how to recycle used cooking oil and
many other things, visit the Buckinghamshire council

from on 07 Mar, 2012@completewaster Exactly. There's a great beef and stilton recipe on the Ocado website - may give it a try!
