Can you throw cooking oil outside?!


Question: it's winter outside


Answers: it's winter outside

Yes. It's vegetable oil, so it will break down over time and not pollute the soil.

sure go ahead

yes I don't see the problem in that.

lol why would u want to throw oil outside for?

That's where I've always put it. In the back where no one will see it.

It is going to attract rodents out there. Why not put it in some sturdy plastic bags and put it in the trash? If you have a lot you might be able to find someone who would come by and pick it up for recycling as part of biofuel.

We do. Especially after deep frying a turkey (Thanksgiving). We strain what we can, give a bit to the dog and the rest goes out in the trees.

It's better than putting it down the drain...and it's not bad for the environment.

What the hell, you just want to throw garbage outside? Glad you're not my neighbor.

We keep old pickle jars and such and put used oil in them. Then when it is filled we just put the jar in the trash. But I don't think it's so bad to put it outside...away from the house.

No, because it will filter down into the groundwater, and contaminate the water eventually. It also makes a big mess. Better to put it into a container (gallon empty plastic bottle, etc). Then put it in your trash for pickup. And never put it down your plumbing, as it will plug it up if it doesn't go all the way down. Cold weather hardens it and you have a royal mess.
Good luck.

NO! Save a milk carton, pour in there and dispose in garbage can.

No please dont do that. It can harm the soil and water both by cutting out the oxygen intake. Instead use it for lighting diyas or lamps in the house which is very good in terms of vaastu and fengshui. Or u can apply it on ur feet to prevent cracked and chapped feet.

What trailer park do you people live in?

Put it in ur fire place with scrap paper. Its practically free fire wood!

I have always done it and never seen any harm come of it.
