Cooking oil
Cooking oil is not accepted at any of Merseyside or Halton's Household Waste Recycling Centres.
Old vegetable oil generated by households should not be poured down the drain.
If you have a home composter you can pour small quantities into it (it's best to mix it first with paper and cardboard). If not, put one polythene bag inside another (in case of holes), fill with absorbent material and fill slowly with cold oil, then place in the dustbin. Other uses for old cooking oil include making an oil and sand mixture to clean garden forks and spades, or you can dilute the oil with paraffin and rub onto outdoor wooden furniture to preserve it.
