What to do with the oil from canned tuna?

The dangers of throwing canned tuna oil into the sink

This seemingly harmless habit is actually quite harmful to the environment and can cause unexpected problems in your home. By disposing of oil this way, you are introducing it into the water system and it can end up in rivers, lakes and oceans.

This oil can be harmful to the health of aquatic life and can also cause water pollution.

Additionally, if you pour the oil down your home’s drains, it can cause blockages in the pipes and drainage system, resulting in a very expensive plumbing bill. Therefore, it is essential to take measures to end this bad habit and start disposing of the oil more responsibly.

One way to do this is to reuse the oil from the tuna can as well as the cooking oil if possible.

For example, you can strain the oil and store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for later use. Alternatively, you can dispose of the oil safely and sustainably by taking it to a recycling center or collection point in your city.

These centers will ensure that the oil is recycled or reused in a responsible and environmentally friendly manner. By making a few small changes to the way you dispose of used oil, you can make a big difference in protecting the environment and avoiding costly plumbing problems.
