If the nursing home wants to get rid of the oil, and your wife doesn't want to take the messy, smelly stuff home anymore, there are grease collection companies springing up all over who would probably drive to the nursing home and take the grease for free. These companies will refine it into biodiesel fuel. Lots of school buses run on it, and when there's a herd of buses idling in front of a school, the smell of french fries is in the air. Then the schoolkids all want to go to McDonalds.
There are individuals who filter the grease and add it to their diesel fuel. I've heard that this works, buy the key is filtering. You have to get ALL the debris and residue out of the grease. You'd be surprised at all the junk that accumulates in the oil of a deep fat fryer.
I work in a large commercial kitchen and we have a large, 300-400 gallon collection tank that we dump all of our fryer grease into. In the South, fried food consumption is very high. Then a truck comes and pumps it, and it eventually fuels the local buses. Before the biodiesel rage came along, a grease processing company used to come and pump the grease and take it to a rendering plant where it became an ingredient in ladies makeup such as mascara, eye shadow, and other things that I don't have much experience with. The FDA inspector came by one day, and older gentleman, and he explained to me the whole process. He asked me if I was married, and I said yes (I was at the time). He told be to buy the wife a couple of pork chops for Valentine's Day. I asked him why. He said that when she puts on makeup, she can instead just rub the pork chops on her face because it's not much different than applying mascara, and it's a lot cheaper, and then you can fry the pork chops and eat them. He was hilarious.
