I put my oil in a bucket with lye, and then dump it down the sink after it soapifies.
This keeps my pipes and my garbage can grease-free.
I am sure someone will have some insight into why this is a bad solution.
๐ Assuming you live in a city with sewer, idk how detrimental it would be...never really thought about it. And sewer stuff, it's so toxic, and there are facilities dedicated to dealing with it.
I live out in the country, with a septic system. This septic system is a living organism of sorts; it contains bacteria & other life that helps to break down my shit, piss, etc. Idk how good introducing a bunch of this soap into the septic tank would be. Maybe it's harmless... Or maybe it'll kill all the buggies.
I do know that if you feel your septic tank is a little 'sluggish', lacking in activity, you flush some raw chicken skin down your toilet & that's supposed to help. ๐
I believe oil argument has little to do with sewers/septic tanks. It s just that oil may clog your pipes
Right I understand. But OP was saying someone will come along talking about unintended consequences, possibly very negative ones. I...fail to see any real problem. But I'm also not a plumber. ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
