Don't throw away used cooking oil

Household waste from frying pans in the form of used cooking oil which is often called used cooking oil has become a serious problem in a densely populated residential area called Cilincing in North Jakarta.

Residents throw the waste carelessly into house yards and waterways, giving rise to a rancid smell and fly attacks that reflect the slum aura of their living environment. Disposing of used cooking oil indiscriminately can have a negative impact on the environment because the oil is difficult to decompose by soil microorganisms. Like a tit for tat, when residents were confused about how to deal with used cooking oil waste, the local government in collaboration with the non-profit organization Rumah Sosial Kutub launched a cooking oil alms program. "Residents welcome the program because they are no longer confused about handling used cooking oil waste," said Nakri, coordinator of the collection of used cooking oil. For one week, the used cooking oil produced by each family is about one bottle of 600 milliliters of mineral water. Meanwhile, used cooking oil produced by food stalls can reach one conductor. Now the act of collecting used cooking oil has spread to many cities, from Jabodetabek, Tegal, Cirebon to Yogyakarta. In 2020, the used cooking oil collected collectively from residents in the Greater Jakarta area will reach 100 thousand liters. The used cooking oil pick-up scheme is made to order.
