The important reason why cooking oil should never be thrown down the sink

Whatever you do, you should not throw used cooking oil down your sink drain.

This would contaminate the water and make further treatment impossible. This also applies to flushing oil down the toilet as it can block the pipes in your home!

When it comes to getting rid of cooking oil, it's best to know how your city handles this type of waste.

Some countries have a recycling policy that can actually make things easier for you. But the default recommendation is to put the oil in a recyclable container and then throw it away.
