Used cooking oil Recycling project |

Dear Readers, I wish to share an experience of my school days. Our Eco-HOD Ms. Anjum Hassan conducted a used oil recycling project in which I actively participated, contributed & motivated others to collect & deposit used cooking oil at the school collection center. Disposal of used cooking oil must be environmental friendly. Some effective steps are: First & foremost re-use the oil. Ultimately, you may cool the used cooking oil before you dispose it. Choose a non-breakable container with a resealable lid. Toss the container of used oil in the trash. Or you may: Freeze and scoop the oil into the trash. Pour the cooled oil into a plastic trash bag.
But please remember do not pour the oil down your sink. And please Keep cooking oil out of your compost.
Cooking Oil Disposal Don'ts
Don't pour oil down the drain or in the toilet. It can clog not only your pipes but also the city sewer mains. Water contaminated with oil is difficult, sometimes impossible, to treat. This means it can eventually pollute local waterways.
Don't add oil to a septic system. It can clog pipes and, worse, your distribution lines and drainage field.
Don't dispose of oil in compost bins or piles. Fats, in general, are bad for compost, and cooking oil is nothing but fat.
Don't pour hot oil into the trash. The school campaign was a great success and we were able to collect around 85 liters of used cooking oil.
My HOD was extremely happy and proud about this project. Her efforts were published in a leading local newspaper & luckily my pictures were in the print.
Dear Readers my humble request is that please do not throw used cooking oil down the drain. Please refer to suggested eco-friendly ways of disposal.
Thanks for reading. |

Thanks Joon. I am in fact interested anything that is related to Eco-conservation. Even if you do not recycle used cooking oil, its' disposal may be made eco-friendly. It was my aim.

Hello Rohan
I also didn't know how used cooking oil could be of problem at its disposal state before learning bit of cooking from my mother a few months ago.
Especially for fried food which needs quite a lot of cooking oil.
To those like me who didn't know how to properly dispose cooking oil, your campaigns truly must have been of great help!
Thanks for the report!

Hello Rohan, easy-to-know campaigns are really popular, right?
You exactly know how to provide such campaigns and hold them to get popular, inducing people to take participation in.
That campaign was also a bit popular in my country about a decade ago but it is afraid to know that it is still ongoing issue among housing works as not many people take participation in recycling used cooking oil.
Thanks for your report, hope someone like you is up here to lead that campaign again like a decade ago :)
