But to Wendy Robins and Colin Clifford, it’s pure gold. Or more specifically, the yellow smelly gunk means that PLU will be paid $100 a year to sell its grease to the Arlington-based Standard Biodiesel, rather than pay a rendering plant $300 a year to get rid of the mess, said Robins, day operations manager for dining
