The fourth annual Day-After-Thanksgiving Grease Collection and Recycling Event (that is a long name, how about, DAT GCRE?) takes place on, you guessed it, November 28, 2008, AKA the day after Thanksgiving.
Recycled grease creates biodiesel, a clean burning fuel. Clean burning fuel can help to decrease our dependence on foreign oil.
You can go to any of the five drop off locations on Friday, between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm.
