How do you get rid of it?

[Doty]

This is probably one of the most awkward questions but how do you guys get rid of used frying oil? I got a couple deep fryers and I always just toss it in the trash. Is there a place you can take it and dump it?

Check with any local restaurant with a fryer, they will (most likely) have a commercial waste-oil disposal service that leaves a dumpster out back. For a few bucks (or maybe even for free) the manager will probably let you dump your old fry oil there.

On another note... it can be used as fuel in a SHTF scenario.

i put it in a coffee can till it cools enough to put it in the freezer. after it freezes and solidifies on garbage day I throw it out.

Easy. It goes to a local garage with a waste oil furnace. Vegetable oil or peanut oil does not hurt it. Knew one guy that strained it, filtered it more and ran it in his diesel.

I just put mine in an orange juice bottle and put it in the trash.

I do have a question. How often does everyone change their oil? I put fresh oil in mine, but first thing I fried in it was fish, should I change it again?

 

[MadBomber]

I usually wait until after dark and use it to drip curse words on to my neighbors yard.

Works great!

Try garages and dealerships. My dealer takes used oil for free. I dont see why thay wouldnt take cooking oil.

If you fried fish in it I would change it immediately afterwards so that nothing else fried in it tastes like fish.

freeze then toss in trash

If you decide to have a bonfire, it works great for getting the fire going good. If you plan on going camping soon, save it in a sealed container for the campfire. That's how I get rid of all my used motor oil. Cooking oil would even be cleaner.

I've used it as weed killer along a fenceline. Otherwise bottle it up and dispose. There may be better uses for it, but, you know.

Give it to someone that makes their own diesel.

If you change your own oil in your car, mix it with motor oil and take it to advance, auto zone, ect.

You may want to get a physical, I noticed your penmanship is getting much worse

If I fry fish I will put it in an empty container and reuse it to fry with it again...don't use it more than 3 times. I don't usually fry anything other than fish.

There are people who will actually biy it, strain, and mix it to produce diesel for their vehicles. Resturants actuall sell it for that purpose. I know of an officer who makes 50 gallons at a time.

 

[lrahm]

You can also buy a strainer and resue it.

 

[CountryBoy19]

I burn it in my stove... just a little bit here & there tossed on helps get things going hotter, faster...
