How to properly dispose of used oil: the easiest and most environmentally friendly way

Why used frying oil is harmful to the environment

Used oil is highly polluting. This means that it must under no circumstances end up in the sink or worse in the drain of your toilet: through the pipes, it would end up directly in the ground causing enormous damage to the environment.

The oil used, in contact with the ground, forms a sort of film that prevents the roots of the plants from naturally absorbing the water they need. In contact with groundwater, used oils (one liter is enough) can make tens of liters of water no longer drinkable, preventing oxygenation. If you have ever thought of throwing used oil into the sea, think again immediately: the oil in fact forms a patina that prevents the passage of sunlight and damages the marine ecosystem.
