Used cooking oil should never be poured down drains or in trash as it can severely pollute water sources. One liter of waste oil pollutes over 1 million liters of water. When oil is poured in drains, it can clog pipes and cost municipalities for repairs. It also affects the environment when washed into soil and groundwater. Turkey produces around 250,000 tons of waste oil annually but only collects 25,000 tons, far below the EU standard of collecting 1.2 kg of oil per person annually. Proper disposal of used oil through collection points protects water sources and the environment while also benefiting the economy through conversion to biodiesel fuel.
