Recycling centers

Where can I take used cooking oil?

Use a dedicated used-cooking-oil collection point or recycling centre that lists cooking oil as an accepted material.

Complete answer

The answer

Allow the oil to cool and pour it into a secure, leak-resistant container. Do not pour it into sinks, toilets or storm drains, where it can contribute to blockages and water pollution.

Do not confuse used cooking oil with motor oil. They are different waste streams and may be collected in separate containers or at different facilities.

What to do

  • Cool the oil first.
  • Store it in a sealed container.
  • Use a collection point specifically accepting cooking oil.
