More and more frequently you will find slinking figures in dark alleys, not bent on mugging you, but rather poised to suck away as much grease and vegetable oil as possible from restaurant grease traps to fuel their cars. With rising fuel prices, this grease-thievery is becoming a common practice and not one that restaurateurs are happy to see. While some pay for their waste oil disposal, others are actually paid for it, and now a new system can satisfy both parties and prevent theft, it’s the Owl Power Company’s Vegawatt.
