Oils
Where to dispose of household cooking oil?
Used cooking oil should be stored in a plastic container (bottles or jugs) once it has cooled down. When full, close the container to prevent spillage and place the bottle in one of the oil collection bins that many municipalities now provide at designated locations on public roads. Some supermarket chains also provide their customers with containers for depositing oil.
How can I request an oil bin for my street?
You should request the oil container from your local council, as they are the entity responsible for managing its placement.
Can I put any type of oil in the oil container?
Não, no oleão apenas deve ser depositado óleo alimentar de origem vegetal (azeite, óleos de conserva e quaisquer óleos de fritura). Nunca deve depositar óleos lubrificantes de motores (de origem mineral ou sintético) nos oleões.
