Turkey Frying Oil Disposal

With the popularity of deep-fried turkeys, more and more people are wondering how to dispose of the frying oil.  Listed below are the options for properly disposing of the used oil: 

Filter and freeze used cooking oil and reuse it for another meal. Oil must be stored in an airtight container. Store in a dark, cool, dry place. Properly stored oil can be stored for up to 6 months. 

Dry the oil with cat litter, sawdust, or sand.  Once dried, it can be disposed with your regular garbage.

Contact area restaurants to see if they will accept the oil in their oil container.

Remember, waste haulers can not accept liquids!
