pellitized fuel

12/05/2008 11:16 PM

I think someone should pellitize left over McDonalds French fries.!! We have been using them for kindling for years !! My guess is 20% are trashed because their cold, or too hard to eat !! God knows their's enough oil in them !! I believe one minimum wage worker collecting plates and seperating food at the trash cans could make a difference.. of course my new make-up line for ugly women didn't make it either... ahemmm !! Mary K-9 !

Hi Mary K-9

How did you use the leftover French fries in the cosmetic products?

Your idea has some merit but the one thing that would probably be something that would make it work without adding the extra labor. Instead of depositing the scraps along with the paper products have a seperate place to dispose of the leftovers. By doing this you would relay on the customer to do the seperating. Your idea might be something that could be tested out by a few fast food places to see the results. You might even want to suggest the idea to top management. They might be interested in doing it.

Good luck.

Don't give up on your ideas they are what moves this country forward.

After reading a little more on what you are suggesting I came up with this web site that should be interesting reading for you.

You know I think this would work. Heaven knows there is enough oil in those things to burn nicely. How are you going to work the collection?

What was the make-up line for ugly women? Endorsed by Tammy Faye's corpse? Or just a paper bag?

mix it with wood chip/dust and turn 'em into pellets...dilutes the thrash.

problem is would it be commercially viable?
