Let’s Take Care of the Used Cooking Oil Container!

Let’s Take Care of the Used Cooking Oil Container!

At the VIDIA Association, we’ve been working for years to promote a cleaner and more sustainable environment. One of our key projects is the collection of used cooking oil, which should be deposited in the orange urban containers, designed exclusively for this purpose.

However, we’ve noticed an increasingly common issue: many people are misusing these containers, throwing in empty plastic bottles, organic food waste, cardboard, and other materials that don’t belong there. This bad habit not only hinders the collection and recycling of the oil, but also increases cleaning costs, disrupts the system, and harms the environment.

We’d like to remind the public:

✅ What you CAN deposit:

  • Used cooking oil (from frying, preserved foods, etc.)

  • Always in tightly closed plastic bottles

❌ What you CANNOT deposit:

  • Empty or loose bottles

  • Food scraps or organic waste

  • Cardboard, glass, cans, or other recyclables

Used oil is highly polluting if poured down the sink or toilet, but when properly recycled, it can be transformed into biofuel and other useful products. All we need is your cooperation to make this effort truly impactful.

Let’s protect our resources and use the containers correctly!
A small gesture can make a big difference.

Thank you for your commitment to the environment.
