How do you dispose of your cooking oil when cooking?

if you haven't got a diesel car, ask a neighbour if they want it,

getmore4less

If you have food waste recycling like we do
all scrapings from pans go in that.
Depends how much other stuff will also add more oil if it will get soaked up from say frying eggs, hard fat/dripping if we wont be re using or eating also goes in

Larger quantities like the fryer oil goes in a container and our local tip takes it, I just take it when going with other stuff.

I thought a lot of places had separate food waste recycling these days.

Gnocchi

Whether it oil e.g. olive or a solid fat like duck. coconut, dripping, lard it all goes in the compost bin which is collected by the council once a week.

Solid dripping goes in the food waste bin, oil goes in an empty milk carton, then in the bin.

Plenty of people out there with older diesel cars are running around quite happily on veggie oil, be it new or filtered.

It obviously depends on the car.

It's obviously not ridiculous.

No dear, I am totally not being funny. I have a very old transit van. In the summer I run it half diesel half vegetable oil. Never had a problem with it.

What's yours?

Exactly - VERY OLD transit van.

I would suggest the majority of people don't have cars/engines that can run with cooking oil any more.

I put it in a plastic petrol can and take it to the dump/recycling center where they have special facilities. But I don't use oil much
