Cooking oils and fats accumulate in almost every household – for example when frying, deep-frying or draining the deep-fryer.
What was delicious in the pan quickly becomes a problem in the drain.
This is because liquid fat solidifies in cold pipes, clogs pipes and can cause expensive blockages.
Oils and fats also pollute sewage treatment plants and the environment considerably.
Therefore, cooking oils and fats do not belong in the sink or in the toilet.
This is how you can dispose of cooking oils and fats:
- Recycling centers (large) and central landfills – Allow the grease to cool, pour it into a tightly sealed container (e.g. old bottle or can) and hand it in at one of our central landfills and the “large” recycling centers.
- Residual waste – Allow the fat to cool, pour it into a tightly sealed container (e.g. old bottle or can) and dispose of it in the residual waste garbage can.
Tip: Kitchen paper is good for absorbing small amounts of fat before it ends up in the residual waste. - Mobile pollutant collection
