WHEN you are done deep-frying at home, hold on before pouring the spent cooking oil down the sink. There is some money to be made yet.

You can sell that oil for 50 sen to RM1.50 per kg and Seberang Prai Municipal Council (MPSP) has made arrangements for collectors to take from high-rise blocks, residents associations and villages.
