Don’t forget that when you pour used cooking oil (and other fats and grease) down the drain, they don’t go away.
Fats, oil, and grease stay around to clog your plumbing and sewer pipes. Instead, pour oil from deep frying into a sealable container and bring it to one of Alameda County’s household hazardous waste sites.
Some Safeway and Whole Foods Markets also accept used cooking oil.
Go to stopwaste.org to find a convenient disposal site near you.
