This is what he wrote: SF Greasecycle is via the SFPUC, not the Dept. of the Environment... You can bring waste grease to Dogpatch Biofuels on Pennsylvania between 22nd & 23rd, when they are open. :) SFPUC: SF Greasecycle sfwater.org San Francisco has a combined sewer system, which means both sanitary sewage (from homes and businesses) and rainwater are collected through 1,000+ miles of sewer pipes and treated at one of three treatment plants. ...

I know that there are commercial grease pick-ups in SF, but not sure where things are at right now for residential pick-ups. http://greendepot.org/ I will ask Eric Smith of Green Depot, and will try to get back to you with some answers.

I really don't want to drive down to the waste facility on Tunnel Road. The SF Dept of Envir. didn't bother getting back to me. There isn't any specific place I can find since the holidays are over and Cosco and Whole Foods don't seem to accept it now. Any ideas because I don't know what that city department does except act self righteous.

It may sound gross to the untrained ear, but it's actually glycerin-based and the simple by-product of bio fuel distillation, so it’s totally biodegradable to boot. I agree with Jim -- this type of thinking is BRILLIANT!
