Since 2009, the Câmara Municipal do Barreiro provides the Used Food Oil Collection Service – OAU! This service was born from a partnership between the Municipality and the company SOVENA – FULA brand.
Besides the collection in bins placed in public roads, the service also includes the collection in educational establishments, institutions, restaurants and similar establishments.
The forwarding and treatment of the used cooking oil (OAU) collected is the responsibility of the company OLEOTORRES, with which the CMB has established a protocol. The litres of oil collected are donated by OLEOTORRES to the Voluntary Fire Brigades of Barreiro Sul e Sueste and the Public Salvation Corps.
Since 2009, 122,093 litres of used cooking oil have been collected by the OAU! service, corresponding to a donation of 10,603.93 euros.
For more information about the service, please contact the Division of Urban Hygiene and Waste on the telephone no. 212 068 068 or by email dar.mail@cm-barreiro.pt.
