I've had my deep fryer for a few months now and the oil is really really black. waht is the best way to dispose of this oil? I know I could just poor it in a bottle and tank it with the rest of the trash, but that doesn't seem right.

You can put it in a zip -loc bag, and then put it in your reg. garbage bag. Or pour it in a reg plastic bag, double it, and then knot it, or twist tie it closed, and put that in a reg. trash bag. OR dump it into an empty milk carton and put THAT in a trash bag.

You can also mix dish washing liquid and water in with it, and flush it down the toilet. The plumbing is quite bad here, so I would go with the bag and the garbage bit.

Many apartment complexes have a disposal drum near their regular garbage disposal. It is usually a 44 gallon drum with a funnel in the top. Disposing of that quantity of oil by flushing it down the toilet even with detergent would be pretty irresponsible.

If you are a Korean, dump it in the Han. That's what the locals do.

Hey, didnt you see Shawshank Redemption..........just take a little bottle, fill it up, when you go outside, just pour a little on the ground at a time. After a year the oil will be gone. And you will be in Mexico, well, I think you are TOO nervous. When in Rome..........

I use an old can (food, soda, whatever) and let it cool, then throw it out with the rest of the trash.

Recycle and civic duty

Take oil, mix with sand and go fill in a pothole or two

Doesn't your place have a recycling barrel with a funnel sticking out for just that? Unless you live in a small villa, there should be one out by the container for food scraps.

I live in Bundang, in a fairly new Office-tel. We have 2 HUGE bins for garbge that we put in pink bags. We have a place for paper, cardboard, plastic, cans, glass,and styrafoam. We have 6 large plastic barrels for food garbage. (and all the flies that hang around). We have a dumpster for old clothes, a place for discared furniture, and a place for broken items. I walked all around that area twice last night and did not see any place for oil.

I said that I throw out oil in zip loc bags, or milk containers. and I put it with my reg. trash. I so rarely deep fry.

Grotto, has the best idea, but I wonder if he ever did it. (did u?)

So, how does the rest of you dispose oil? Drinking it is not a good idea. But I wouldn't mind feeding it to some of the kids here who think they are so smart..... I could always say "it's an American thing".

If I didn't think it'd screw up my toilet, I'd probably flush it down the pan, to be totally honest. It's not very nice, but it's a quick fix to an annoying small matter.
