Donate Your Used Vegetable Oil
The Neuter Scooter regularly brings spay/neuter services and low cost vaccines to areas outside of Virginia Beach and now, in addition to helping pets and their owners, the Neuter Scooter is helping the environment. Courtesy of funding from The Alfred L. Nicholson Fund of The Norfolk Foundation, the Neuter Sccoter has a conversion unit which allows it to utilize bio fuel (vegetable-based oil) as an alternative fuel source. It take approximately 250 gallons of purified vegetable-based oil for the Neuter Scooter to operate in Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Franklin and the Eastern Shore each month. How can you help? You can donate your used liquid vegetable oil!
We are asking the public to “Don’t Be a Turkey – Give Us Your Grease!” During the holidays, many people enjoy frying turkey and we want you to help us by giving us the grease from your turkey fryer. Just bring your used frying oil such as vegetable, sunflower, peanut, canola and olive oil (no animal based oils) returned to the original container and place them in designated collection areas in the parking lot of the Virginia Beach SPCA at 3040 Holland Rd, Virginia Beach, VA 23453. Your used vegetable-based oil can be dropped off even if the shelter is closed.
The Virginia Beach SPCA has been involved with keeping the environment clean for years with the “Poop Pollutes” Campaign and our humane education programs to thousands of children each year . By disposing of pet waste properly it helps to keep the land, water and air clean. The “Going Green” Campaign expands on the Virginia Beach SPCA philosophy of preserving the environment. It’s the right thing to do and is part of being a responsible partner in keeping the environment clean. For more information on the “Going Green” Campaign at VBSPCA, please contact Karla Campbell, Development Director, at development@vbspca.com or 427-0070 Ext. 14.
