Many producers of used vegetable oil (i.e. McDonalds, et al) are now 
selling the oil to bulk recyclers anyway. The era of driving up to 
the back door of the local fast food joint and getting used oil for 
nothing is pretty much over. Biodiesel was a great idea as long as it 
was using something that would have been thrown out otherwise, but 
that isn't the case any more.
