Where do you dispose of your turkey fryer oil?

Please don't dump it on the ground or into the sewer or just toss it in the garbage...this oil can be recycled.

I have a client who recently purchased a foreclosure containing a 5 gallon container of cooking oil in the back yard.  Since the bank never took responsibility to dump it, who will?  You got it - me, their agent.

So the next step is to find someplace in Marietta to recycle the oil.

Well, I first contacted Keep Cobb Beautiful but they didn't know of anywhere in Marietta that took the oil.

Roswell Recycling Center & City of Smyrna takes the oil...But what about around Sprayberry High?

I then called many recyclers and they all told me that they don't pick up oil from single family residences, but they do pick up at Kroger, Publix, Whole Foods and other restaurants.  After searching for a couple of weeks with negative replies, I spoke with a manager at the Sprayberry Chic-Fil-A at Sandy Plains & East Piedmont intersection across from Sprayberry High School.  He said "bring it on"! Update 12-12-2011: I brought it and they took it!

So once you have fried your turkey after the holidays and are looking to discard your fryer oil, contact Chic-Fil-A and coordinate the oil drop into their recycling container.

Of course, if you want to drive your oil to Smyrna or Alpharetta:
