Key issues for businesses - Vegetable oil
Many restaurants, food producers and caterers produce large quantities of used vegetable oil. Used oil cannot be disposed of in sewers or drains. This can create blockages or cause vermin problems in addition to problems within sewage treatment works. In the majority of cases your supplier of oil may offer a collection of used cooking oil.
If you are storing large quantities of vegetable oil, the Oil Storage Regulations or environmental permitting may apply to your business. To find out more on this issue visit NetRegs.
Further information is also available in the other problematic wastes section of this Guide and for a collection, contact ACORN (Affiliated Cooking Oil Reclaimers Nationwide) for a waste cooking oils collection and recycling service.
