The Atlanta suburb of Smyrna is beginning to fuel some city trucks with a biodiesel mixture that includes re-used cooking oil collected from local restaurants that fry foods. Smyrna modeled this after a repurposed-cooking-oil-as-fuel program in Hoover, Alaska, according to Ann Kirk of Keep Smyrna beautiful. The hope is to eventually be able to run the city’s entire fleet on cooking oil.
