Oil does not belong in sewers. So where else?
Anne Grimshaw

Sometimes you may want to prepare crispy French fries at home. A great idea! But do you know what to do with the leftover oil after a meal?

The best solution to cooking oil

Most oils used in cooking come from plants. There are separate collection containers at recycling centers for these edible oils. You can usually throw away your cooking oils where you throw away used glass. Important: Oils should be as pure as possible. Mixtures such as salad dressings are not placed in the recycling container. To be on the safe side, it should be said that oils and fats can be destroyed only after cooling.

What to do with massage oil?

It does not contain cosmetic oils such as vegetable oils and massage oils. Like engine oils and all oils used in machinery, these are mineral oils. For this reason, these oils are sometimes collected separately at the recycling point. Since not all oil collection points accept both types, you should find out in advance on the Internet what can be deposited where.

When nothing helps

Not all collection points accept oil waste and you may not want to go to the collection point for a decilitre of oil. In no case should you pour the remaining oil down the drain. Oil clogs sewer pipes and makes them difficult to clean. Instead, pour a small amount of used oil into a plastic container, wrap it in newspaper, and throw it in the trash. This means that the oil is not recycled but does not put an additional burden on the sewer system.

What happens after the litter box?

Waste oils poured into the recycling container will be reused. Old cooking oils from the food industry are often reused as livestock feed. Oil waste from normal houses is used for other purposes as it cannot be guaranteed that there will be no animal residue left in the oil. For example, it can be used to produce biogas and biodiesel. However, this is not possible if the oil waste is a mixture of cooking and mineral oils. It will still burn so the heat can be used later.
