Grease and cooking oil are liquid or semi-solid fats used in food preparation. They are commonly produced in kitchens after frying or cooking.
Disposal Options

- Large Amounts – Launceston Recycling Centre
Why
Pouring oil down drains can cause blockages, damage plumbing and sewer systems and contribute to large blockages known as “fatbergs”. Proper disposal prevents environmental harm.
Did You Know
