Or rather, oil from a deep fat fryer.

How do you dispose of it?

And no, I don’t own a diesel…

I pour it into an empty plastic milk bottle and chuck it in the bin.

I take mine to work as we get paid for oil collections, but other than that I think your local tip might have a bin for it?

In the old days it went down the sink followed by a kettle of boiling water and some oven cleaner.

As a side note, I once met a lad on holiday years ago (20+) that collected used chip shop fat. Not sure what he did with it (rinse, clean, back out?) but I got the impression it was a lucrative business.

There's probably somewhere locally which will take it to make biodiesel or, as suggested, your local civic amenities site should have a bin for it.
