The use of frying oil is common in various food establishments, especially those that focus on the preparation of fried foods.In households, its consumption is significantly lower, but even in this environment, after use, the question arises as to how to properly dispose of the oil.Improper handling of used oil can lead to pipe damage and other complications..
When preparing dishes such as french fries, donuts or fried meat, we often reach for rapeseed or sunflower oil.These oils are among the most common in Slovak households, but after using them, certain principles must be followed when disposing of them.Many people make the mistake of pouring the fat directly down the drain after it has cooled, which leads to serious problems with pipe clogging.
If you want to avoid inconvenience, the best solution is to pour the cooled oil into a closable container and then throw it in the trash can intended for mixed waste.It is important to emphasize that oil does not belong in biowaste or in a glass container.
In the case of food establishments where a significant amount of oil is used, disposal is even more important.The law obliges operators to dispose of cooking oil through specialized companies that collect and recycle it.These companies often also provide fresh oil and offer operators contractual services that cover regular oil changes and removal.
The correct disposal of oil is not only a matter of environmental protection, but also prevention of technical problems and unnecessary repair costs.For this reason, we should all pay attention to where we put the used oil.
