how do you dispose used cooking oil? i have a tip please share yours

i use my used oil as an emergency fuel for an oil lamp when needs arise,i store all my used oil in a big plastic container for future use...im still looking for a much productive way of using used cooking oil,instead of throwing them away...maybe we can use it to fuel generator or a vehicle maybe....who knows?

well when our can of coffee is gone I put the can under the sink. Than when i have cooking oil I usually pour it in the old coffee can. I also will put chicken bones and such in the coffee can, put the lid on than toss in the trash. Its a good way of keeping the aquirrels, possums, raccoons, and birds from ripping the trash open outside when the food scraps are placed in the coffee can/

Well i don't really cook in my house yea but anyway thanks for sharing your tips yea .

hi roni! that's a really good tip you have there. we don't usually throw used cooking oil in the sink. in fact, we kind of recycle cooking oil. mother doesn't like anything to be wasted. if it still can be used then it will be used. but if not, the cooking oil is thrown away in the soil. and the frying pan and all the oily big cooking utensils are often washed in the "poso" (pump) and so the oil goes to the drainage canal which is usually readily sinks in the soil.

No, we won't dispose it as it is a big waste. We will store it. After we make noodles, we will put some of this cooking oil on it with soy sauce. It will taste better.

We also do that at home. You're good at giving tips perhaps you could submit some to daytipper.com. Every published tip could earn you $3.

Well, we usually throw it in our garbage, after its been used a couple of times. We don't use our cooking oil just once. We have a container on our counter that we put the cooking oil in after its cooled off. We take a small strainer to get all the food particles out of it. Then we use that a few more times until it gets dark. Once that happens, we take the garbage out of the can, bag and all, and put a second bag in to line it. We put the first bag back in, then we pour the grease into it. As long as both bags don't get snagged, this works until garbage day, when it becomes the landfills problem. Don't turn your nose up at me, cooking oil does way less to the environment than most of the things we throw away!!!

Hi again... Thanks for dropping by and adding to the catch-up chat. I posted a photo of the moon that I took while sitting around the fire if you'd care to drop by and see it. It would be great to share that experience with you! I appreciated you posting this informative discussion. Your ideas and those who added theirs are good ones. The interesting thing for us is that we rarely deep fry anything so we do not have old cooking oil to dispose of. If and when we do I now have some new ways to get rid of it and I appreciate that.
