The depressed price of diesel has left all but the largest producers without a profit motive. The large producers have fixed contracts to provide bio-diesel for blends. A significant amount gets exported. Smaller concerns have closed. The hobby sector has dried up and people simply buy commercial bio-fuel or just use fossil diesel.

I used to have locked holding barrels to discourage theft. Now, restaurants are calling me to dispose of their oil or they are dumping illegally. My personal vehicle as well as my work trucks do not need more than the oil I already collect.
