Proper Disposal of Cooking Oil and Grease

When it comes to cooking oil and grease, it is important to dispose of them responsibly to avoid clogging drains or causing environmental damage. Here are some methods to help you properly dispose of cooking oil and grease:

• Reuse: If the cooking oil or grease is still clean and usable, you can reuse it for cooking or frying.
• Recycling: Some local recycling centers accept cooking oil and grease for recycling. Check with your local recycling center to see if they have a collection program or drop-off location for used cooking oil and grease.
• Donate: If the cooking oil or grease is in good condition, you can consider donating it to local food banks or organizations that can use it for cooking.
• Disposal: If none of the above options are available, you can dispose of cooking oil and grease in a sealed container in the regular trash. Make sure to let the oil or grease cool down before disposing of it to avoid any safety risks.

Remember, cooking oil and grease are considered hazardous waste and should not be poured down the drain or toilet as they can cause clogs and damage to the plumbing system.
