Kirkwood police believe the stolen cooking oil is being sold to salvage companies to later be turned into diesel fuels.
A spokesperson for a Millstadt Rendering Company in Belleville told me stealing used cooking oil is costing her company thousands of dollars a week.
Often her drivers travel perhaps as much as two hundred miles to find huge drums empty. She called it a nationwide problem, that if not checked will drive a lot of smaller salvage companies out of business.
