Hey, all you turkey deep-fryer users. What are your plans this Thanksgiving for all that cooking oil once you have fried the big bird?

 Here’s an idea: bring your used cooking oil to one of Blue Ridge Biofuels drop-off bins located throughout Western North Carolina. Recycling cooking oil keeps mucky grease out of sewers and landfills and turns it into clean energy instead, according to BRB.
