Everyone uses cooking oil to cook as it is a must-have ingredient in the kitchen. We use cooking oil to properly sauté, cook, or fry our food ingredients. However, after we’ve done cooking, most of us will just toss away the cooking oil and that’s it.
Isn’t that a waste? Instead of just tossing away used cooking oil, did you know that we can sell used cooking oil and make money from it? For your information, the price per kilogramme of used cooking oil is currently higher than new cooking oil.
Are you tempting to sell used cooking oil now? However, before you sell it, make sure to:
- filter the used cooking oil to remove residue before pouring the oil into an airtight container
- place the container in a plastic bag, then tie it tightly to prevent any spillage.
Once you’ve done steps above, now you can take the used oil to these six branches to sell it:
