Things You'll Need:

• waste cooking oil

1. The first thing you can do with waste cooking oil is to compost it, adding a little to a compost pile can add a lot of nutrients that are missing with just dead leaves. Just know that the pile will smell like the oil for some time.

2. Another good idea is if you have a gravel driveway try spraying the oil over it in a thin layer, it will harden and keep dust down for a while. However just like in a compost pile it will decompose after a time and need re-application.

3. 

   You can also make bio-diesel and run your car using this free oil you got. It requires some work and using chemicals, so it is not for everyone but is proven way to make fuel for 1$ a gallon. You can also convert your car to run on the oil with no processing, however this requires lots of modification.

4. You can also make a stove for heating your house using this oil. This is a lot easier than running a car on it and a little oil will last for a long time, and the best thing is the stove you make can make LESS smoke than a wood stove of the same size.

5. If the oil is clean you can make a homemade soap out of it. The process is very similar to making bio diesel so the risks are the same. The soap you make can be sold at crafts fairs and whatnot.
