        So when I ran a restaurant not in the UK, I had to pay a service to come take my used oil. If I had oil thieves, I’d have gladly canceled the service

        The article sys 20-50 p a Litre, but an article from 2022 says 8pound for 5Liter, which also, oh no, how will they survive!

        the quote about it being a real crime with real victims followed by a picture of a guy taking a bin from a side walk is pretty funny

    I’d quite happily leave a few jars out for the “grease and oil men” if they were doing regular collections like the “rag and bone” men are.

    It’s a massive shit getting rid of used oil.
