Don’t Pour Oil Down the Drain. Pouring oil down the drain or toilet causes clogs in your home plumbing system and contributes to larger clogs in the municipal lines that can cause thousands of dollars’ worth of damage.

Oil and grease may be liquid when hot but will cool in your pipes, congealing and gathering other oil particles in the pipes. As the grease collection grows, it will prevent water from flowing through and causing it to back up into your kitchen and bathroom.

The right way to dispose of grease is simple; throw it in your trash can. Follow these steps to avoid pouring hot grease directly in your garbage:

1) Let the oil or grease cool and solidify.
2) Once cool and solid, scrape the grease into a container that can be thrown away.
3) When your container is full, place it in a plastic bag to prevent leakage and then throw it in the garbage.
4) Once you’re rid of the majority of the grease, use a paper towel to wipe down all pots, pans and dishes that came into contact with the oil before rinsing them in the sink. Even small amounts of leftover grease are dangerous to your plumbing because it will build up over time.

The information you referenced in “Sumpter”, its Sumter, are locations in South Carolina. A little far to drop off used oils.

No it is not still good it will be very rancid. Soybean oil starts tasting rancid after 6 months especially in an opened clear bottle. Light and air are not good for oil.

On canned foods The Best Buy date is exactly that, the flavor will start to deteriorate but as long as the can is intact it is good to eat.

Oil starts off rancid and gray in color. It's chemically treated to give it a more pleasing color and odor. I had a new disposal installed a few months ago, and the plumber told me to pour vegetable oil in the drain if I was going to be away from home for any length of time. Oil doesn't congeal in your pipes like grease, it lubricates the disposal and it forms a barrier in the trap that won't evaporate keeping sewer odor and insects from coming up through your drain.

Still unable to locate appropriate Sumter County Florida recycle center for cooking oil.[/url]

If unopened it is likely just fine. Use it, or if you don’t want to, donate it to a food bank. I frequently volunteer at Atlanta Community food bank , and things like expired canned goods and cooking oil are perfectly fine as long as they are originally sealed and in good condition. Read about sell-by dates, these are not absolute and are used for stock rotation and control. Local food banks: Find Food Now

excellent advice to follow folks...it will clog up your plumbing if you put it down the drain

I keep an empty crushed tomato can in the freezer....any oil left over after cooking goes in there...when it's 3/4 full it goes out in the regular trash inside a plastic freezer bag

Absolutely correct! The only food expiration dates that are valid are for baby formula.

You cannot donate out-of-date items to food banks. They may not use it and will have to dispose of it.

Secondarily, old boxes of cake mix have shortening and they go bad. I've tried on several occasions to use an old mix and the resulting product is inedible. It may smell "off" when you open the mix, but even if it doesn't, when it's mixed with the liquids it takes on a rancid flavor.
