🚮 Binman Reveals the Right Way to Ditch Used Cooking Oil! 🚮
Cooking at home means we’re often left wondering how to handle leftover cooking oil. It’s a sticky situation, and simply pouring it down the sink could block your pipes faster than you can say “emergency plumber”! But did you know tossing it in the food waste caddy is also a no-no?
Enter TikTok’s favourite waste guru, the No1 Binman, who’s got some straight-up advice for us all: keep that oil out of the food waste and recycling bins. Instead, it belongs in your general waste, but with a clever twist.
Here’s the trick: grab an old container—like a milk carton or a jar with a snug lid—pop your used oil inside, and then toss the container into your general waste bin. This simple hack prevents messy spills if your rubbish bag splits. 🧃
Now, if you’re a cooking oil hoarder with gallons of the stuff, say from a business or a massive family feast, it’s time to ring up your local council or hire a specialist to collect it. For the rest of us using a manageable amount, the “container method” is the way to go!
Looking for a creative twist? Zero Waste Scotland suggests using leftover cooking oil in eco-friendly ways! Transform it into a DIY bird feeder by mixing it with seeds and nuts, or use it as an alternative to creosote on your garden shed. Your local wildlife will thank you! 🐦
