Short of throwing it in the garbage, does anyone know how to properly dispose of it?

i think youre supposed to funnel it into a container (ie plastic bottle) and take it to the local decheterie (or wherever) and they dispose of it for you.
Ditto for OIL thats changed from scooters or cars..
Anyway thats what I do....

Geneva no longer has a system for collecting cooking oil. They suggest that you put it in a plastic bottle (1L max) and put it in the garbage.
Some other cities/areas do collect the oil. Just not Geneva.

used oil is no longer collected. Small quantities of cooking oil are ok to dispose of (1 liter per trash bag). Large quantities are to be disposed of in one of the three "Espace Recuperation" of the canton :
-Site du Chatillon (Route d'Aire-la-ville, Bernex)
- les Chanats (chemin de Chanats - Bellevue)
- La Praille (Avenue de la Praille 47, Carouge)

Wow....that's kind of discouraging. I only have a about a litre (was making home fries last night) but I really cringe at the idea of putting it in the trash. Perhaps I'll go to Espace Recuperation anyway and bear the laughter.
Anyone with an indirect injection engine?

I don't see the issue with incinerating vergitable oil provided the resulting heat is used. Surely this replaces other carbon based forms of heat generation, so is net neutral in Geneva? There genuinely is huge investments being made to replace mazout for some appartments in lancy with heat from the incinerator.

My commune, Veyrier, still has a container for collecting vegetable oil.
It's in the recycling area so there must be other towns that have these as well.

simply pour dishwashing soap in it, mix it and let it cool and then add hot water and it will have a dissolving effect, then u can flush down the toilet.
learned this from a professional chef and it has worked so far, never clogged my toilet and ive been doing it for six years!
