We Make Our Own Fuel!
In November 2008 we began making our own fuel to run our trucks and equipment. So far, it
has been a success! The initial investment was a bit costly but we felt if we were really
going to do our part to help the environment, one way would be to cut down on the sulfate and
hydrocarbon emissions we were releasing during tree removal operations. It’s bad enough to be
removing dangerous live trees in decline either because of construction/development or poor
health issues. This way we're cutting back on the hazards to our environment by using an
alternative fuel.
Why Bio-Diesel?
Bio-diesel is biodegradable and renewable. It has the advantages of dramatically reduced
sulfate and hydrocarbons and reduces particulate matter into the air we breathe. Unlike
diesel fuel, which is carcinogenic (cancer-causing), it is non-toxic and does not damage
water quality.
Our fuel source comes from used vegetable oil collected from local restaurants, so when
you hire our services you can feel good about helping reduce pollution in our great city
of Nashville. Oh, just one thing - you may get a bit hungry due to the pleasant smell
of French fries!
