How can I dispose of fat, oil or grease?
Please follow these easy steps to keep fat, oil and grease out of your pipes by using your Gunk Pot or equivalent container:
Scrape Scrape food scraps and fat off your plates into your bin or food waste recycling. |
Collect Use your Gunk Pot or similar container to collect cooled fats, oils and grease from roasting trays and frying pans. |
Wipe Give plates and pans a quick wipe with kitchen roll or newspaper to remove any liquid fat or grease before putting in the sink or dishwasher. |
Empty/recycle Empty your full Gunk Pot into your kitchen bin, then wipe it out with kitchen roll ready to reuse. Alternatively, dispose of an equivalent container directly into the bin. |
However, check the advice from your local council if food recycling is available in your area.
