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

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
