This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Idc if this is dumb, I pour it in a bucket and when it's full I dig a hole in the back yard and pour the oil in there and bury it. I do this 1-2 times a year.

You're begging the US Army to liberate your yard.

Depends on the oil but cooking oil is organic material so it shouldn't be an issue.

Honestly not the worst idea now I think about it. I have been using the paper towel soak method, but this could actually be less wasteful and easier on the organic composter. Thanks for the tip!

Edit: Ok so I dug into this a bit more (no pun intended), and seems its not the best idea due to the oil potentially seeping into groundwater.
