If you can't wait for a workshop consider this fantastic Home Brew book to get you started toward fuel independence:

Home Brew Biodiesel manual $40
Revision 2.1 June 2008

We ship books daily via USPS Priority Mail.

In our opinion this is the best and most complete learn how to make biodiesel manual. It's not a substitute for a workshop but an excellent start. We were actually well on our way writing our own book when we stumbled upon this publication. It is 214 pages with over 200 clear pictures. Includes detailed equipment assembly instructions and parts lists. Operations Manual teaches you how to make biodiesel from begining to end. Reference section covers all areas of backyard biodiesel. If you're a self study person or can't attend one of our workshops then this is the book to get you started.

GLYCERIN DISPOSAL
Houston Biodiesel now offers collection of your unwanted used homebrew glycerin. Disposal fee is $0.20/gal. Just bring your glycerin to the shop in small 5 gallon jugs to pour it into our disposal totes. We also take 55 gallon drums of glycerin. We feel that if we teach you how to make biodiesel then we can certainly manage the waste. We ask that you keep your KOH and NaOh glycerin separate.
