Did you know you could recycle your used cooking oil? I was reading the newspaper and came across an ad from the Public Works Environmental Services about recycling your used cooking oil and was so excited. I always felt so guilty throwing the oil down the drain or in the garbage.
Here is what the ad says –
Recycle Curbside:
Place cooled, used vegetable cooking oil into same labeled container & cap originally purchased, or place into CLEAN see-thru plastic jug with tight fitting cap. 2-gallons per week maximum. Place in small recycle basket.
Now you will have to check with your local Recycling Center to find out if they are offering this. For help finding a Recycling Center near you try Earth911.com.
If your city is not participating in any kind of recycling of used cooking oil here are some other ways to recycle your used cooking oil.
- Some towns only offer used oil recycling for businesses, but may be able to put you in touch with a local restaurant that can add your oil to theirs for recycling.
- If you’re cooking meat, use the leftover grease to make suet-based bird food.
- Mix small amounts of oil with paper or cardboard and add them to your compost bin.
