AWIGO starts free acceptance of cooking fats in Osnabrück!

AWIGO waste management district Osnabrück GmbH has good news for all environmentally conscious citizens: from July 1, 2025, cooking fats and oils can also be disposed of at recycling centers. This has been possible at the new AWIGO recycling yard in Wallenhorst since May 2025. Other drop-off points are in Ankum, Georgsmarienhütte, Melle and Ostercappeln. However, dissent is left out. The environmentally friendly disposal option is just right because many of us often don't know how to properly get rid of frying and frying fats. AWIGO is doing a good job here, because improper disposal can lead to blocked pipes and enormous environmental pollution, as shown Waste-Info.de is to be read.

What to do with the cooking oils? AWIGO has found an uncomplicated solution here: citizens are asked to collect their cold cooking fats and oils in standard, well-sealed plastic containers. These could be, for example, old detergent bottles, fresh oil containers or yoghurt pots. A simple packing and dropping into the collection bins at the recycling centers is all it takes. But why all this? Waste fats are not only disposed of correctly, but also used to produce biogas, green electricity, heat and even CO2-neutral biodiesel, which promotes sustainability and environmental protection, such as Osnabrück district reported.

Alternative disposal options

The correct handling of used fats plays an important role for the environment. Improper disposal can not only pollute the sewage system and cause unpleasant odors, but can also harm animals and plants. How Waste-Info.de explains, used fats should not simply be poured down the drain pipe. If you are looking for further disposal options, in some cities you will also find the option of disposing of small quantities in the organic waste bin. It is important to dispose of regularly and properly to prevent pests and the risk of fire.

That's not enough, they're up My recycling center to find practical solutions to find local recycling centers quickly and easily. Anyone who is committed to sustainability can find what they are looking for with just a few clicks and is encouraged to actively participate in the recycling process. This is achieved not least through a user-friendly platform that makes access to important information easier.

Sustainability in everyday life

In summary, there are many ways to promote proper disposal. It is particularly important not to direct used fats into the sewage system, but rather to dispose of them at the appropriate points. Catering establishments are requested to commission specialist disposal companies for larger quantities and to observe the legally regulated guidelines. It is also worth using less fat when cooking and avoiding ready-made products in order to reduce the amount of used oil.

With AWIGO's new initiative, sustainability becomes tangible. Now it's time to get involved together and use environmentally friendly alternatives to protect our planet for future generations!
