| Used oil burner success
story
Through an EPA grant, Fort Yukon leases
out a garage in the community to store recyclables and
to operate a small scale used clothing/goods store. Used
oil from businesses in the community fuels a used oil burner
in the garage which provides heat for customers and staff
working in the garage. Used oil from residences is collected
in labeled drums located under a shelter next to the garage.
Their Used Oil Burner is a Shenandoah (size 235,000 BTU’s)
and they are very happy with it. If you would like to talk
to Fort Yukon about their used oil burner or thrift store,
contact:Vicki Thomas, Fort Yukon Village Council at 662-2581.
Below are some pictures
of their burner and their used goods store.
