Cooking oil

What do I do with it?

Put in your rubbish bin or take to a recycling centre.

  • don't pour cooking oil down the drain 
  • use up cooking oil at home where possible
  • seal oil in a suitable container and put it in your rubbish, or 
  • take up to 5 litres of cooking oil to a Household Waste and Recycling Centre (except Dudnance Lane, Pool). Ask a member of staff on site where to put it
