We have been working alongside Litter Free Coast and Sea (LFCS) and their ‘Love our beach’ project in Swanage, campaigning for cleaner bathing water and focussing on the reduction of fats, oils and greases in the drainage network.
We're currently running a trial that allows Swanage residents to recycle their used cooking oil.
It's easy; just wait for your cooking oil to cool, then collect it in a plastic bottle. Put the lid on and just pop the bottle inside your brown food waste bin as part of your regular weekly collection.
We'll then take the oil away with your food waste and turn it into biofuel.
Never pour cooking oil down the sink or drain. If you need an extra food waste bin, please fill out the form and follow the instructions.
Please note that this trial is currently for Swanage residents only.
