Do Just One Thing
Even though vegetable oil comes from plants, it should never be poured directly into the ground or garden soil. Once used, it breaks down and can coat soil particles, blocking water and air from reaching plant roots. It can also attract pests and create unpleasant odors as it degrades. Over time, it may contaminate surrounding soil and potentially seep into waterways. Instead, let it cool, strain it if possible, and dispose of it in a sealed container with your household trash, or take it to a local cooking oil recycling program.
