When the previous coop was working we had a system for disposal or collection through the coproducts committee.  Can anyone tell me what I could do with this stuff. I would love to make soap but can't right now and need to get rid of it. I have about 100 gallons of it.  Can anyone recommend someone who could take it?

Unfortunately I've heard that Metro will want up to $5/gal to dispose
of it. I have also heard that Oregon Oil Re-Refining Co. will take it
for around $1.50/gal. Although I'm not sure if they deal in small
quantities, or even accept it anymore.

Here is there website, let us know what you find out.

Other than that I don't have a good answer for you other than that you
might want to consolidate it to a couple of barrels and hold onto it,
almost 40% of the glycerol cocktail you have is methanol. So there is
about $160 of value in it at today's prices. Getting it out is the
trick.
