Did you know you can make extra money by recycling your cooking oil in Durban...
The path to responsible and safe oil disposal is made possible with the added benefit of some cash back.
For the longest time, many families would dispose of their used cooking oil in unsanitary ways. From pouring it down the drain or sink to throwing it in the garden or worse, flushing it down the toilet, without considering the environmental impact.
However, it is possible, especially for those who use large amounts of cooking oil, to dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way.
