If you’ve used cooking oil in the last few months, you probably want to find a place to recycle it. Most recycling centers will take any type of used cooking oil, including lard, butter, and cooking oil with a plastic container. When you’re ready to recycle, however, be sure to pour it into a container with a lid, and be sure to keep other liquids away. Then, find a nearby recycling facility and drop it off.
In addition to drop-off options, there are local companies that will pay you for your used cooking oil. There may even be a special collection between Thanksgiving and New Years. Regardless of where you’re living, there are options that will save you money and help the environment. To find a place near you that can recycle your cooking oil, you can use the internet or search locally. It’s best to get in touch with several different companies to find one that’s convenient for you and your city.
The city of Richmond, BC, is promoting its new program to reduce the amount of used cooking oil that enters the sewer system. Grease is causing huge problems for the city’s sewage system, so they’re doing their part to prevent it from getting into the water system. By encouraging its citizens to store used cooking oil in a glass jar or bottle, the city hopes to decrease the amount of oil going down the drain. The city also offers commercial cooking oil recycling services, such as Mahoney Environmental.
