*UPDATE*
Residential cooking oil now accepted at Drop-off Depots and Community Environment Days
Cooking oil – from residential homes, apartments and condos – is now accepted as household hazardous waste at Drop-off Depots and Community Environment Days. (Please note the drop-off hours for household hazardous waste are different from the general operating hours.) Cooking oil should delivered in a sealed container labelled “Used cooking oil.”
Cooking oil should never be poured down the sink, drain or toilet because it can negatively impact sewer pipes systems in your home and neighbourhood, causing sewer backups. Small amounts can go in the Green Bin if soaked up with a paper towel or frozen/hardened.
