Cooking oil

Cooking oil and fat cause blockages in the sewer system at home, at the municipality, and at the treatment plant. These blockages cause sewage to end up in the ditch. This leads to fish mortality, foul odors, and other nuisances for people and nature. It also results in unnecessarily high costs for maintenance of the sewer system and pumps. Pour used fat back into a plastic bottle or empty milk carton and take it to a fat recycling collection point in your neighbourhood.

Even small amounts of oil and grease left in the pan after frying or roasting can cause serious problems in the sewer system. Small residue in the pan? Wipe it away with a paper towel and throw it in the trash.

Costs

There are no costs involved.

Flooding

Fat solidifies in the sewer and causes blockages. These blockages can lead to flooding.

Water quality

Grease blockages cause sewage to end up in the ditch. This ultimately leads to fish mortality, foul odors, and other nuisances for people and nature.

More and more supermarkets, schools, sports clubs, and recycling centers have a yellow container for used fat.
