Don't know 'bout Stralia, but that's not how it work here.
Restaurants typically pay $30-$60 per month to have their grease
hauled away. "Yellow grease," as it is called in the trade, is traded
on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and is worth about $0.50-$0.60
per gallon. So the waste companies have two revenue streams, and the
restaurants are generally happy to have someone agree to haul it for
free.
I have heard that in Stralia that mutton tallow is a popular
biodiesel feedstock.
