A Used Cooking Oil Recycling Pilot Project at the Burnaby Still Creek Recycling Depot is set to start on October 7th, 2008. The year long Pilot Project, a partnership between ERM BioSource, the Recycling Council of BC and the City of Burnaby, aims to collect and divert used cooking oil from disposal by residents, and reuse it in the production of biofuel. Burnaby residents are encouraged to participate in the Pilot Project by dropping off their used cooking oil for recycling to the City’s Still Creek Recycling Depot.
