Do Not Pour Frying Oils Into The Sink, Do Not Pollute Your Future!
Call “Waste Line (444 28 45) instead of poring frying oils into the sink!
Even though it is not healthy, fried foods and dishes prepared by frying carry a lot of weight in Turkish cuisine. Even the nutritionists who say “I live healthy” admit that they have potatoes, peppers, eggplant fries at least several times a year.
At public level, fried food is consumed once or twice a week. Ladies who are meticulous about nutrition, renew the frying oil every time as they do not want to risk their family’s health. Those who cannot afford it, prefer to use the same oil many times. It is beneficial to say that both situations are quite unfavorable…
1.5 tons of oil is consumed annually in Turkey. Approximately 10 kilos of frying oil is discharged from every house. One liter of used oil makes 1 million liters of drinking water, in other terms one year’s water supply for 15 people, undrinkable. As waste oils are ecotoxic (Substances and preparations that have or have a risk of sudden or delayed harmful effects on one or more parts of the environment), they pollute the environment and harm the living creatures in that environment.
25% of waste water pollution consists of used vegetable and animal oils. When untreated water is poured into seas, lakes and streams, the water is polluted and the oxygen in the water decreases. Thus, other creatures, especially fish, are either dying or exposed to serious destruction. When the used oils are poured into the sink, they are plastered into the drain system, causing the wastes inside the sewer pipe to stick and the pipe get narrower over time.
Waste oils spilled into the sewage catch other wastes and make the sewage system unusable. Due to all these reasons, frying oils should not be poured into the sink. “Well, what shall we do with them if not pour them?” You can call “Waste Line” after collecting the oil in a pet bottle. No matter where in Turkey you are located, just give your address to the officer after dialing 444 28 45. At any time you set together, the officers come and collect your waste oils.
At least 5 liters must be accumulated before they can come to collect. For businesses and catering companies where more oil can be accumulated, officials at the “Waste Line” provide 50-liter bins and collect them back when they are full.
As a human being, we are responsible for protecting our body, loved ones and the environment we live in. There is a lot to consider before pouring the fried oil into the sink.
