Oil Score!

Posted on 06/20/12 1 Comment

I often peruse Craigslist, looking for the occasional post for WVO.  The other day, I caught a post from a place nearby that had 14 cubies of non-hydrogenated oil needing pickup.    I called up right away and was excited that the oil was still available.  “Will it fit in your car?…I’ll make it fit!!”  He wanted .50/gallon which is fair for quality oil in the cubie.    The restaurant produces about 4 cubies a week, plenty for me.  I showed up on time, handed him a card and told him I wanted to be a regular pickup.  He said I could do that, or I will be the first person he calls.   I left feeling a bit, insecure about my new source.  It is a 40 minute drive from my house, so I will feel out the need/want to lock it down over the next few weeks.  I haven’t done a contract before, but this source may be worth locking down…that is if the restaurant owner is willing.   See a sample contract here.

    I hate to encourage that behavior. I make it a policy to never pay for used oil. I always tell the restaurant owners that Im an electrician and can possible help them out if they ever get in a jam. But, I wont exchange cash.
