Why Pouring Cooking Oil Down the Drain Is a Big Problem

When you pour used cooking oil down the drain, it might seem harmless—but it causes serious damage to our sewer systems and environment.

Used cooking oil sticks to the walls of pipes, hardens, and creates fatbergs—massive blockages that cost cities millions to remove. In Orlando alone, sewer clogs related to oil and grease disposal cost hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. These blockages lead to backups, bad odors, and pollution in our waterways.
GreenOil offers a better way: collect the oil at home, bring it to your school, and we’ll turn it into clean-burning biodiesel fuel. It’s simple, impactful, and eco-friendly.
