You Should Never Pour Hot Oil Down Your Sink Drain, and Here’s Why

Proper Methods for Disposing of Cooking Oil

Reuse: If the oil is still clean, strain it and store it for future use. This reduces waste and extends the life of your cooking oil.
Seal and Dispose: Pour used oil into a sealable container (like an old jar) and throw it in the trash. This keeps it out of both your plumbing and the landfill.
Recycling Programs: Check if your community has recycling programs that accept used cooking oil. Some places have collection events specifically for oil disposal.
Commercial Disposal: Many businesses collect used cooking oil and convert it into biodiesel, a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels.
