Question:
How do I dispose of used cooking oil or grease?
Answer:
Pouring grease down the drain can potentially clog your drain. The City and the County of Los Angeles have programs for collecting and managing Household Hazardous Waste from Los Angeles County residents. While cooking oil is not a hazardous waste, residents can dispose of it at the County's weekly household hazardous collection events or through the City of Los Angeles S.A.F.E. Centers. Business waste is not accepted. Businesses can find a list of recyclers and their contact information via our SmartBusiness recycling locator.
