Biofuel is fuel derived directly from living matter. Simple? No!
In this scene The Doc is putting food into his “Mr. Fusion” to create fuel. Oh the foresight. Back in 1989, someone imagined that food could be fuel. They were right.
Creating Biofuel is not simple. Reading about it is like sitting in a college chemistry course. Please click HERE for a full discussion by Biofuel.org.uk. The bottom line is that biofuel uses agricultural products like corn and soybeans to create fuel instead of non living things like oil. The great thing about biofuel is that we can reproduce it easily and inexpensively; however, because of the almighty dollar, the oil companies are not interested in letting any of their profit slip away.
The Industry of Biofuel is promoted at the governmental level in Europe.
BusinessGreen.com has an article about this European movement and how it will provide tens of thousands of jobs. The article focuses obtaining living waste from trash as opposed to straight out of fields.
Imagine, as you are sorting your cardboard, cans and plastics into your recycling bin, you also have a container for food waste. Have you ever had a compost pile? Same stuff. The article makes reference to the sorting taking place at the landfill, not in the home.
Is BioFuel a reasonable fuel source?
Yes. The answer is simple. The complicated part is financial. Turning crops into fuels is a technology. It needs to be developed and development requires money. There are many massive companies who have an interest in oil remaining our primary source of fuel. Basically, until l oil runs out or become too expensive for us to buy, there will be no other fuel source. Of course this is just my opinion.
Next time you drive past a wide field of beautiful green crops remember that one day that will fuel your car, your home, you business.

We all make trash every day. We throw it in the trash can. Then someone takes the trash out. Then one day a week, a large, loud truck comes to get it. These trucks, as I refer to as “overheads” pick up the bins and dump them into a compactor, set the bins back down and leave. This regular trash service is mainly for the purpose of everyday trash. You probably pay a “refuse” bill, my bill is part of my water bill.
Then there are times that you have more trash than will fit into your bin. Like Christmas time… or spring cleaning… or fall cleaning… or
“I’m feeling ambitious and I’m tired of climbing through the garage” cleaning.
Sometimes you can cram all this stuff into your bin and sometimes you can’t.
So then come the “roll off containers” (aka dumpster, can, box.) these are to haul trash from household or yard clean-up or remodeling and construction level projects. Sometimes one will due and sometime you’ll need many. The reason is it called a roll off is because the container is rolled onto the truck and rolled off. Larger containers are used for larger jobs and smaller containers are used for smaller jobs and the disposal or recycling of dirt, concrete, asphalt and other aggregate.
Here is a list of tips in regards to dumpster sizes. (courtesy of Enlightenme.com)
One cubic yard equals 1 yard wide x 1 yard long x 1 yard high. A 6′ dumpster will hold 6 cubic yards.
