I have recently received several inquiries about how to deal with used cooking oils. There are three companies collecting food waste in Brunswick, and each handles used oils in a different way. Garbage to Garden can handle small amounts — about a cup or less — by soaking it up in newspaper then putting that in the bucket or letting it harden up, then wrapping it in the newspaper. Or put it into sealed, marked container. They use it to make the soap to clean the buckets. We Compost will accept small quantities soaked into newspaper. Agri-Cycle, which collects the materials from the totes by the Public Works leaf drop on Industry Road, says let it harden, then wrap it in newsprint before leaving it in the tote. ~ Harry Hopcroft
