Cooking Oil is Recyclable?
That's right! If you generate large amounts of used cooking oil, check out the recycling resources below.
What is cooking oil?
Any oil used for frying or sauteing is considered cooking oil. Plant-derived oils, like canola and safflower, are most common, but some cooking oil can also contain animal fats.
Who would want old cooking oil?
Some industrious individuals are now using cooking oil to power their diesel vehicles. And companies large and small are using spent oil to create biodiesel, soaps, and industrial lubricants. Pretty cool!
Because products made from cooking oil have value, some businesses will even collect it for free.
