ARCHBALD, Pa. Surveillance video taken back in March shows one of the owners of Bud s Bar & Grill in Archbald confronting a thief who emptied the restaurant s vat of used cooking oil and took off. I guess the guy must have had a hose hooked up to his truck, and it was siphoning oil out of our dumpster, said co-owner Kathy Poronsky.
A lot of restaurants, such as Bud s, sell that leftover cooking oil to biodiesel companies. It s extra income that s proven valuable in hard times. We re struggling just to stay open, so every little bit helps. So when they re taking that from us, they re taking it from us helping our employees be paid more, paying bills, just anything really, said Poronsky.
More We do get residual income [from the biodiesel companies], it s not a lot, but it s still just a smack in the face to people that are trying to be honest here and make an honest living, said Shane Gallis, one of the owners of Idle Hours Entertainment.
Companies like Buffalo Biodiesel come by these businesses every couple of months to collect the used cooking oil stored in vats and recycle it into diesel fuel.
Based in New York state, Buffalo Biodiesel has been posting on social media reports of dozens of thefts a day happening around the northeast U.S.
