These Measures are developed to strengthen the management of waste cooking oil disposal in this city, ensure food safety, and promote resource recycling. The Measures establish a strict regulatory system governing the generation, collection, transport, and disposal of used cooking oils from catering, food production, and ready-to-eat retail activities. The Measures clarify departmental responsibilities, require producers and processors to implement management systems, and emphasize source-reduction and resource-reuse. Collection and disposal units must be selected through public bidding, meet technical and environmental standards, install monitoring systems, and sign service agreements specifying responsibilities and oversight. Producers must submit annual declarations, maintain proper storage facilities, use oil-water separators, and hand over waste oils only to designated collectors.
