Türkiye bans pouring used oil into household sinks Change Türkiye banned household disposal of vegetable waste oils into sinks and requires municipalities and retail sales points to collect sealed containers and transfer oils to licensed. Why it matters Direct release of cooking and frying oils into drains, soil or sea is now illegal, forcing formal routing into municipal or retail collection systems. Commercial food producers must contract with licensed processors, and collected oils are restricted from direct blending into fuels or reuse in feed or cosmetics.
