    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    While not a direct hazard to humans, used vegetable oil is considered hazardous waste. That's because it's lighter than water and small amount of it can contaminate a large amount of water. Putting large amounts of vegetable oil down your drain could cause the drains to clog. But used vegetable oil can be recycled into biofuels. Check with your local government about where to dispose of such materials.
