When I lived at home with my parents, our house was smack in the middle of ten acres and no neighbors were within sight, so we ussually just emptied the leftover cooking oil out back away from the house and away from where people walked. But now, I live on a little patch of "home" with neighors on all sides of my house so emptying the oil out the back door really isn't an option : ) I never really thought about WHAT to do with the oil but I never put it in the trash can ( unless there is an empty milk carton that I can pour it into and toss it out) and I dont think it goes down the drain well so what do most poeple do with the old oil...It's driving me CRAZY!?!

Fuel you car? We have friends that travel all over the country...they stop at fast food places to get used cooking oil to fuel their van. How cool is that?

I will sing at the top of my lungs, and I will dance even if I'm the only one...

If you have a glass jar, such as spaghetti sauce jar, you could dump it in there and close the lid really tight. I dump mine out in the cornfield and the dogs and cats usually run over and try to lick it all up.

If it is all veggie oil you could probably put it in your compost heap.
