Here’s where to recycle used Turkey Oil in the Midlands

COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– Looking to get rid of that used Turkey oil from all that Thanksgiving frying?
Officials remind you to dispose of used cooking oil the right way.
Richland County officials say you can bring used cooking oil to a Richland County recycling center. Leftover oil will be collected and recycled to be used for clean biodiesel fuel. Through this process, residents help keep oil from clogging drainage systems and protect fresh water sources, say officials.

Clemson Road: 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
Lower Richland: 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 12:30 p.m.-5 p.m. Sunday
