Environmental Impact of Proper Waste Oil Disposal
Improper disposal of cooking oil can block pipes, pollute water systems, and harm the environment. By using our free service, you help prevent fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from entering drains and reduce landfill waste.
Your used oil is recycled into clean-burning biofuel, helping reduce carbon emissions and support the UK's renewable energy goals. Government initiatives such as the £37 million funding boost for renewable energy highlight the importance of converting waste oil into biofuels.
