Can anyone tell me what they do with used cooking oil. At the moment i just put it into a container and let the bin man take it, but i am sure that it could be recycled or something.

some places will buy it from you to refine as bio diesel.

Or you could do it yourself - its not that hard :-)

Hi Eldrick
what sort of places - i expect they would want a minimum quantity. I am talking about 3 ltr containers of which i have two at the moment. It seem such a waste though.

well if I had that much I would dig a hole in an unused part of the garden and pour it in there

At school we're not allowed to put it out for the dustmen anymore, so we have to have it collected. They come and get about 20 litres at a time from us. Have you thought of contacting your local council and asking them?
