Waste cooking oil collections
If your business creates waste cooking oil
then you must ensure that it is stored properly in sealed
containers, that none is allowed to spill and that it is collected
by a licensed waste carrier who will take your waste oil to an
authorised site for recovery or disposal.
Below are the key points from Guidance issued jointly by the Food
Standards Agency, Cabinet Office, Environment Agency, Defra, HM
Revenue & Customs and LACORS.
- Waste cooking oil must not be poured down
drains or sewers because this leads to blockages and odour or
vermin problems and may also pollute watercourses leading to
problems for wildlife. Such action could result in
prosecution.
- Waste cooking oil should not be disposed of
with the rest of the catering or kitchen waste because it may cause
spillages leading to odour or pollution problems or waste
contractors may refuse to remove it. Liquid wastes are now banned
from landfill.
- Waste cooking oil from catering premises can
no longer be used as an ingredient in animal feed. This
change was introduced in 2004 under the Animal By-Products
Regulation EC 1774/2002.
- Anyone using waste cooking oil from catering
premises as an animal-feed, as an ingredient in animal-feed, or who
consigns their waste cooking oil to such animal feed operations
commits an offence.
