Proper Ways to Dispose of Cooking Oil:
- Reuse the Oil: Strain and store clean oil in an airtight container to use it again for frying or cooking, reducing waste.
- Sealed Containers for Disposal: Pour cooled oil into a jar or bottle and dispose of it in the trash to keep it out of your plumbing.
- Recycle: Some communities have recycling programs specifically for used cooking oils, converting them into biodiesel. Check local resources for collection centers.
By handling used cooking oil responsibly, you’ll protect both your home’s plumbing system and the environment.
