However, while some states have over 20 biodiesel fuel production facilities, others do not. In fact, there may not be anywhere to take your oil in your state, let alone your area. The good news? Here's a list of just a few ways to reuse your cooking oil:
Use leftover lard, tallow, or animal shortening (all essentially the same substance) to make your own suet for feeding wild birds.
Replace toxic lighter fluid with used cooking oil.
Put some of the oil on the newspaper at the bottom of a chimney for faster lighting of the coals the fireplace or grill.
You can filter out food particles and fry with the oil once again, but make sure that your cooking temperature is at least 190° Celsius.
Remember, whether you choose to recycle or reuse your old oil and grease, be sure to try reducing as well. When you cook with less fat, the environment and your body will both have reason to thank you.
