This Christmas we are all going to produce alot more cooking oil and fat than usual. Whether its the drippings off your beef joint, turkey fat or the olive oil from all those roast potatoes its really important to use every last drop. The simplest way to keep your drains free of blockages and stop filling up your rubbish bin is to take your used cooking oil to your local household recycling centre this Christmas.
Shropshire Council and its recycling contractor Veolia have partnered with Living Fuels to transform the oil into much needed renewable energy. The five household recycling centres in Shropshire have been fitted with tanks to collect cooking oil, which is then taken to a recycling facility where it is transformed into an environmentally friendly liquid biofuel which is fed into generators to create both heat and power.
You can recycle over 30 different types of material at your local household recycling centre and now cooking oil is just one more thing that you can recycle. Its really easy to recycle your used cooking oil this Christmas, once it's cool just pour it into a sealed container and bring it to your local Household Recycling Centre. This is the greenest way to deal with your waste cooking oil, its reducing your carbon footprint and helping keep the lights on too!
