Found some interesting recycling tips in the Austin American Statesman.
Looking to recycle CD Cases
Tim Hamblin, video archivist at the Austin History Center, accepts donations of empty CD cases. Bring your donation to the Austin History Center, 810 Guadalupe St., during business hours (available at www.ci.austin.tx.us/library/ahc). Contact Hamblin at 947-7305.
Looking to recycle Cooking Oil
You can donate used cooking oil to DieselGreen Fuels, 5217 E. Cesar Chavez St. Drop off donations at any time, preferably in the oil’s original container.
There is also an on-site container where you can deposit oil. DieselGreen cleans the oil to remove water and impurities and makes it available as raw oil or biodiesel at EcoWise, 110 W. Elizabeth St. In addition to individual donations, the organization collects used oil from 75 local restaurants.
Interested in learning more about the process? DieselGreen has an open house on Tuesdays from 7 to 10 p.m.
Call 247-FUEL or visit www.diesel greenfuels.com for more information.
