What Do I Do With It?

Return to Selection Index

Fat, Oil, Grease - Households 

For information about commercial recycling and disposal options, click here

Do NOT pour used cooking oil down garbage disposals, sinks, toilets, or drains. It leads to blocked sewer pipes, clogged drain fields, and increased maintenance costs. Do NOT pour used cooking oil on the ground or down the storm sewer where it can contaminate waterways.

RE-USE: Many fats, oils, and greases used in cooking can be used more than once. If you plan to re-use cooking oil, keep it below smoking when you cook to avoid breaking it down, then cool completely, and filter thru a coffee filter or cheesecloth to remove sediment and seasonings. Store in an airtight container in a cool dark place for up to 6 months.

RECYCLE: Used cooking oils can be recycled by a rendering plant, processed into biofuels or disposed. Recycling options for household-generated fats, oils, and greases in Kitsap County are extremely limited - see vendor in green.

DISPOSE PROPERLY: Used cooking oil can be placed in the garbage after it is solidified with diatomaceous earth, kitty litter, oil absorbent, dirt, or sand inside of a bucket or a bottle. Wood chips and sawdust aren’t recommended because they do not tend to absorb well.

  1. Solid cooking grease and solidified cooking oil can be placed in the curbside garbage container, or disposed at the Recycling & Garbage Facilities. It is best placed into a bag or container less than 5-gallons in size. There is no volume limit.
  2. Please solidify any liquids. Liquid cooking oil generated by households should NOT be placed in curbside garbage or recycling containers, and it is NOT accepted at Recycling & Garbage Facilities.
