Where can you dispose of used cooking oil?

[UTinBigD]

I have two giant bottles of peanut oil left over from a cookout. I have a feeling you cannot just chuck that in the trash (legally). I am no tree hugger, but just want to do the right thing (thanks, Spike).

If i take this to an oil change place, will they laugh at me?

Your city or county probably has a waste disposal site that can take oil, paint, stuff like that. Check the phone book or google.

Then again, you might call your local crappy restaurant that fries everything and ask them what they do with it. Maybe they'd let you dump yours out with theirs.

Have a neighbor with a big dog you dislike?


Actually unless you ahve used the oil multipel times or burned the living hell out of it you should just strain it and use it again.

Paula Deen insists that you never fry fish with non-used oil. I thought it was sort of weird but she was of course right.

flavor my friend...that's why. Of course like you said it get nasty after 2-3 applications.

It's not motor oil and it's not hazardous waste. Pour it in a corner of your yard. The only reason not to pour it down the sink is because it gunks up the free flow of **** and tampons in the city system.

When did it become illegal to dump cooking oil in your yard?

Maybe its not illegal, but why would you want to pour that crap in your lawn?

just throw it away, it isn't hazardous waste, you cooked with it for goodness sake.

stuff you should dispose of properly (i.e. not in the trash): paint, batteries, chemicals, solvents, dead bodies, etc.
