What's the proper way of getting rid of cooking oil once it's been used?

Answer 1

the proper way is to put it in bottles.
and trow them in the garbage.
never in the sink because this will pollute the oceans etc,

Answer 2

You don't want to clog your drains with that nor outside over the fence; nasty critters will expect dinner all the time. (Stock pile the grease in a coffee can. When full toss into trash.)

Recycling of used cooking oil is ENCOURAGED---- where the opportunity is available. Possibilities for recycling include:
•Pet Foods & Animal Feed – Pet food manufacturers, farmers, and dog mushers add oil to foods.
•Energy Source – Used cooking oils can be burned in some incinerators, generators, or diesel engines (as biodiesel fuel).
•Consumer products – Some companies are using recycled cooking oil to produce soap, cosmetics, glues and other products. Where these options are not available in the state, used cooking oil may be collected and shipped out for proper disposal or recycling.

Answer 3

Poor about a tablespoon and a half full of dish washing detergeant into it and poor it down the sink with running HOT water. Let the hot water run for about 30 seconds after oil is finished pooring.

Answer 4

Never, ever, pour it down the drain. I put mine in an old can then pitch it. Cooking oil can be used as diesel fuel, so maybe you could find someone to recycle it.

Answer 5

Pour the used oil along a fence line to keep the grass or weeds from growing up along the fence. Or you can take it to wal mart and they will dispose of it along with motor oil.

Answer 6

While it is still a liquid pore it into a disposable container that will not melt, I suggest a washed water or juice bottle. Then throw it out.

Do not pour it down your sink as it is bad for your plumbing and may clog things.

Answer 7

Take it somewhere that they can convert it into bio-diesel. In the city i live in there is a company that goes to fast food places and gets their used oil and converts it for diesel vehicles to help not use fossil fuels.

Answer 8

I would fpold up some newspapers into a cone, put that in a sturdy plastic bag, pour the used oil in, tie it up and throw it in the bin.

Answer 9

Gosh, I guess let it cool in a coffee can and dispose of it with the garbage. Just don't put it down your drain! It's very bad for the plumbing!

Answer 10

don't put it down the drain. I actually just pour mine into the dumpster or trash - though if you have garbage pickup (no dumpster) i would put it in a disposable container and put it out with your garbage.

Answer 11

I throw it away when it cools, too. It's especially bad for the plumbing if you have a septic system.
