  In Salt Lake County there's an "ordinance" on the books that states that to transport "Liquid Waste Products" you have to have a permit from the Salt Lake County Health Department.
   
  The permit is there to essentially protect the environment.
   
  To get the permit you pay the county $125/year, let them inspect your vehicle and your facility, show proof of an insurance policy w/ $1,000,000,000 in the environmental coverage section and you get a permit.
   
  They also want to know that you're disposing of your glycerin in an environmentally friendly manner.
   
  Jump through their hoops and they give you a permit to "transport" waste liquid a.k.a. used veggie oil.
   
  Renegade Recycling threw a fit when they found out several biodiesel & SVO (straight veggie oil burning) folks were sticking barrels behind restaraunts & not having to "follow the countie's" rules.
   
  ===my own commentary here
  It's interesting to watch said renderer throw said fit--I'm guessing it has something to do with said renderer having a monopoly on a "free" product that they then turn around and sell & people cutting into their profit margin I think is the REAL reason they're throwing such a fit. I personally think this permit thing is a red herring for them to use to stop "competition for free oil".
  -Just my $0.02 on the matter. Said renderer has not gone out of their way to be friendly with any biodieseler that I'm aware of. In fact, they're now quite antagonistic against homebrewers.
  ===commentary done
   
  So....they made it their personal duty to turn in any would-be biodieseler to Salt Lake County & let the county handle the rest. Needless to say it's been a pain in the butt.
   
  They're turning in EVERYONE (and I mean ANYONE) they suspect is "collecting oil without a permit"....nice of them, eh? Yeah, REAL nice.
   
  So, that's the "legal" part of it.
