Can you recycle used cooking oil?

Last week I made a huge batch of egg rolls that left me with a lot of oil leftover. I reused some of that, but now I have no idea what to do with it. I did some research and only got information about restaurants recycling large amounts of used oil for biodiesel, but no information for regular consumers like myself. Unfortunately, my current location (Orlando) does not recycle used oil.

Any ideas on how I can repurpose leftover cooking oil?

Hi,
I am going to start a business in collecting waste oil from individual households. I encounter the same problem as yours because we throw out some amounts of oil every month. i thought that if every household can collect their waste oil and that in turn can be collected from them without hassle, it would be for the betterment of everyone. So I have contacted a company which recycles waste oil into biodiesel and we will work together in collecting oil from households. I intend to appoint a home in one area. Would you like to be involved?
Or would you just want to sell your oil? Do contact me at ninelivescomm@yahoo.com
Best of regards,
gan
