I used to take my used cooking OIL to Devon Street in 5 ltr Plastic bottles with Secure screw caps.


I have now scrapped my car and can no longer take the used oil to the dump.


I now have 3-4 such plastic bottles in my back yard.


Can these bottles be collected with the usual collection facilities. ??

Yeah. Thought about that but concerned I might pay someone to take it away and they just pour it down the drain.

I will be here when the bin men come and have the bottles ready.

See if they will take them. ??

Let us know outcome Foxy .


Related to this - anyone know position re grease in food waste ? We are a v unhealthy household and I often scrape greasy left overs into food waste bin .


What do ppl do with ,say, juices and fats from tray baked chicken thighs ? ( no I don't make chicken soup from left overs ) .

Academic papers (see two attached) suggest that the inclusion of fats (including solids) in anaerobic digestion (the go-to method for disposal of kitchen waste, though not yet adopted by Veolia) is hugely beneficial to the process.

You should avoid oils in domestic compost however (so if you compost kitchen waste, don't include oils and fats).


Veolia composts organic waste, but it doesn't like oils, liquids and fats

    • You can make cider from a variety of varieties of apple.  If course the best is west country/SW Midlands which is predominantly cider apples, that can be so tart it knocks your head off.  But cider producers often add desert apples, and Breton and Normandy ciders are sweeter.  
    • Hi,  We are welcoming a puppy to our family in a couple of months, and since I'm new to the area, I'm looking for some local recommendations.  I am looking for the following:  Highly recommended vet  Groomers (they are a cavapoo, so will be a regular!)  Group puppy training classes  Thank you 🙂
    • I too am very sorry to hear this, taliax7. It must weigh heavily over you and your family. 
    • We did L-shaped conversion and put the bathroom in the middle so could be shared by both front and rear bedrooms and strongly recommend this. We'd stayed in places with ensuite bathrooms in front bedroom and didn't want kids / guests having to walk through front bedroom from back bedroom. All of our loft rooms feel spacious and have lots of light. You can add more roof windows and adding a side window in addition to rear window on back bedroom makes a huge difference to the feel and light. Think how you'll use the rooms and where the furniture will go; and pay attention to where you'll have reduced headroom as this catches lots of people out and having to make mid-build changes. Suggest view your neighbours lofts and see what you like and what you don't. Hope this helps
