Yea, all the "I thought everybody knew this!!!" posts are obnoxious.
Isn't there a high risk of an awful leaking garbage bag if you poor oil into the garbage?

you save your fast food restaurant cups with their lids, put the oil in those, and freeze it the night before your trash is picked up.

This sounds like a lot of work. I'll just toss my oil down the sink.

Really? It is pretty fucking simple. DON'T FLUSH THEM DOWN THE TOILET.
Is that really so hard? Get a fucking diaper pail if you need one.
FFS. But hey . . . if you are into paying for massive plumber bills then go ahead and fuck up your homes if you want.

Well . . . this new pill says I'll lose weight fast if I buy it. It must be true because marketers would never lie to me!
Why are you so angry about this?

Here you go wet wipers:
Get one. Don't fuck up your plumbing or the sewer system. They are not that expensive.

Meh. As long as flushable wet wipes are advertised as flushable I'm not changing.

Amen, brother!
Yep, I am and your diaper pail comment came with a bunch of "shit" spewing from you fingertips so don't act surprised when people ignore your message and ask who the real asshole is.

Can you try again in English, please?
Edit: Wait . . . I think I understand. You are offended that I called you an asshole for being irresponsible so you will continue to be irresponsible? Are you 12?
Why? You didn't.

Read your first post in which you rant like a 5 year old calling people babies twice. For using them, not putting them in a toilet. Pots, kettles, etc. grow up

While growing up my mom would take a mug or something and put like 6-8 paper towels in it and pour any excess oil into it. Then she would throw that out instead of putting it down the drain. I don't often have excess oil but when I do I do something similar, soak it up and throw it out.
Oh, that's rich coming from someone who made your original post in this thread.

No, I called them babies once. (I was talking about real babies the first time.) It is to make a point . . . they are being irresponsible people that are unable to do the right thing for society (you know, like babies).
I'm sorry if my anger over people that cannot act responsibly caused me to use foul language.
So . . pretty please, with sugar on top, please don't flush wipes down the toilet. (There you go, did I not offend your precious sensibilities?)

That's some amazing wit there chief. "We've established that's false." Heh - you mean you furiously backtracked and kept being a dick totally unprovoked. Enjoy your paper.

No backtracking. I reposted exactly what I said earlier. I'm sorry if you are unable to parse English.
Well since you asked so nicely.....NO! I wouldn't take seriously anything you'd advise.
The sewer problem is worldwide.
Too many people just think flushing items the toilet frees them from personal responsibilities (i.e. proper waste disposal).
Quoted because people need to be educated. You throw dissolvable TP down the toilet, not paper towels, thick layers of TP, or flushable wipes, which really look like paper towels.
Here in the states, people also throw unwanted meds, motor oil, and other weird stuff that fit down the toilets.

So does anyone have a better solution for dealing with cooking oil than saving waste products in jars like a psychopath?
speculawyer

Good question. Well if you do save it up, I think you could give it to biodiesel people that would love to have it. But just throwing it into the garbage is probably fine . . . it will do fine in a landfill AFAIK. It is not toxic.

if it's not shit, piss or toilet paper don't flush it
So go talk to Charmin and Cottonelle. They're the ones that claim flushable wipes break up in a septic system.
mutations. then they crawl up the sewer systems and attack people when they sit on the toilet.
anyway, I say figure out some way to set the fatbergs on fire, and the problem will take care of itself, yes? everything is flammable and it's already in the sewer, just a nice slow low burning flame.
I always reuse my cooking oil at least twice, and then pour it back in the bottle and throw it in the garbage.
the problem is partially that the wet napkins that they flush are the non-flushable industrial/kitchen type that are made of tougher weaves of fabric.

My mom kept like a jar under the sink she'd pour used oil into then throw it in the trash when it got full. So that's what I do.
I never knew people reused old oil till that ghetto cooking video

Apparently, the sanitation facilities claim that they have to clear sewer blockages from these flushable wipes every day by catching them in traps and disposing them by hand.

Just throw them in the trash bin. Is that action really so difficult?

Well used cooking oil can be used to create biodiesel.
And used motor oil can be recycled into . . . well, I dunno but I know they recycle it into something.

Yes . . . it is a problem as the OP points out.

Kevin smith praises wet wipes . . . but then again, he also had his toilets overflow because of them.
Is the diaper genie that hard to use?
Refined again and sold as motor oil.

None of you would have this wet/dry toilet-paper problem if you all just rinsed your asses with water like actual citizens of modern society.

Don't you still wipe first though?
If you are using flushable wipes, I suggest you upgrade to this.

Yes , since I don't want shit receptacles in my bathroom. Maybe if you spent your energy trying to convince the ones who are falsely advertising their product, they would do something to improve it.
