Cooking Oil Recycling

Recycle your leftover liquid cooking oil to avoid the hassle of dealing with clogged pipes and other sewer problems.

1. COOL oil to a safe temperature and filter it to remove food particles
2. POUR oil into a jar or plastic container with a tight fitting lid
3. TAKE the oil to your nearest HHW collection center

• Cooking Oils – vegetable, corn, peanut, sunflower, canola, olive, soybean, flaxseed, or any combination of edible cooking oils
• Oils and fats can be mixed in a single container

Cooking oil cannot be accepted for recycling if it is mixed with water, food sauces, gravies, large amounts of food particles, plastic, paper, motor oil, fuels, chemicals, or detergents.

Recycled cooking oil is used to produce alternative fuels such as biodiesel, which is better for the environment.
