Boulder's CHaRM recycling center now accepts cooking oil.
Big durable #2 plastics also now accepted. See site below for details.

CHaRM = Center for Hard-to-Recycle Materials


http://www.ecocycle.org/charm/

We will accept any kind of oil used in cooking, such as vegetable, canola, sesame, sunflower and olive oils. Oil from food production, such as grease from cooking meat, is also accepted.

A barrel is set up for recyclers to transfer oil from their containers into Eco-Cycle's. We ask that large solids be strained out (anything that won't easily fit down a funnel – solids can go into our compostables container, also at the CHaRM).

We cannot recycle or dispose of used oil containers and ask that containers be rinsed and then either reused or recycled at home. Motor oil or any type of oil that is used for purposes other than cooking will not be accepted. Check the Hard-to-Recycle Guide for a list of locations that accept used motor oil.

There is no charge to residents or businesses to recycle cooking oil.

We are so fortunate to have this facility! I've been dropping off my #6 styrofoam here for a few years now.
