UCO

UCO is the short name for used cooking oil. It is fryer oil and other kitchen oil collected after cooking, then moved toward recovery or a fuel plant. The acronym is the name buyers and fuel programs use.

Posts filed under UCO are the ones that use that name in the title: making money with UCO, biodiesel manufacturing from that oil, and the liquid-gold startup note. A page titled only as used cooking oil, without the acronym as its subject, is filed under Used Cooking Oil instead.

GREASE.ORG picks up UCO from kitchens. Use this category for the acronym articles, and the schedule page when a kitchen is ready for a pickup.
