Why Proper Disposal Is So Important
Improper disposal of cooking oils and fats can cause serious issues. Pouring oil down the drain leads to sewer blockages, environmental damage, and potential fines. As a business, you're legally required to dispose of waste oils responsibly under UK environmental law.
By using our collection service, you divert waste oil away from landfills and waterways. Instead, it’s recycled into biodiesel – a clean, renewable fuel that reduces carbon emissions and supports the UK’s clean energy targets. It’s a simple action that delivers real environmental impact.
