In advanced Societies, the Government would make provisions for these.
I've noticed that most of us dispose of these items carelessly not minding the hazard it will cause to others.
Though some State Government have introduced Waste Disposal System which has served as a means of disposal for some of us but our waste ain't marked recycled and non recycled waste.
From the little research I did, I learnt certain light bulbs contain a significant amount of mercury and are quite toxic also batteries too contain it's own harmful chemicals.
Vegetable oil is safe but it shouldn't be disposed down the drain because it clogs it. I learnt it can be made into biodiesel for car engines.
Someone suggested one can simply bury batteries into the ground.
I would love suggestions on how best to dispose these waste, (lightbulbs, used batteries, used vegetable oil as well as perfume cans) so that we all can benefit from it.

..

wait for lawma in any b/stop... d remainin bcoms history.

Now that's revealing and thought provocating.. I would love to know also how to dispose batteries and perfume cans etc.

Am sure it can be recycled into something else.

Anyone with idea..

That's the assumption. I don't live in Lagos.

Used vegetable oil can probably be mixed with the food of omnivorous animal such as pigs and chickens in small quantities (I would start with 5% and adjust it based on how they handle it). It may not be good for their long term health, but they don't usually get to live long anyway.

Light bulbs

-Incandescents can be resmelted for glass and aluminium or iron. I'm not sure about the epoxy but I've seen it being collected.
-CCFL(EnergySavers) can be restored, disassembled for components, aluminium and plastics

Used Oil
Can be modified and used as Diesel fuel, Refined and reused (albeit with a health caveat), refined and converted to soap, refined and blended with other oils for cream, used as lamp fuel or fire starters

Batteries
Resell for scrap value, burn properly for disposal, collect pastes and make new batteries.

My 2 kobo!

I used to hear and see people burying dead batteries. The problem I have always have with them is, obviously, the soil composition will be harmed by the toxicity of the batteries.

funny. Long is relative, nothing lives long enough anyways.

I didn't even know this. There are so many untapped potentials in this country.
