Abstract: A method of capturing and disposing of fats, oil and/or grease (“FOG”) is disclosed. The method includes: providing a porous container formed of a porous fabric, wherein the porous container is filled with an absorbent material capable of absorbing a quantity of the fats, oil, and/or grease through the porous fabric of the porous container; placing the porous container and the absorbent material contained therein in a grease trap; allowing the grease trap to fill up with water and a mixture of fats, oil, and/or grease; removing the fats, oil, and/or grease from the grease trap after a pre-determined period of time, while the water remains in the grease trap; and transporting the fats, oil, and/or grease. The fats, oil, and/or grease may be removed from the grease trap and transported with a vacuum truck.

Abstract: A method of capturing and disposing of fats, oil and/or grease (“FOG”) is disclosed. The method includes providing a vacuum truck to a user, wherein the vacuum truck has a tank with (1) a vacuum hose; (2) an inlet to the tank connected directly to the hose; (3) an outlet from the tank; (4) and one or more mixing components. The method also calls for positioning an absorbent material within the tank that is capable of absorbing a quantity of FOG. Next, FOG is vacuumed from a grease trap via the hose and mixed with the absorbent material to create a biofuel. Finally, the biofuel is discharged from the outlet of the tank into a containment device at a burn facility and subsequently burned. Alternatively, the absorbent material may be contained within a containment device at the burn facility and mixed with the FOG at the facility before being burned.
