Summary/Abstract: Significant quantities of used cooking oil are generated in restaurants when preparing meals that require thermal processing - frying in deep fat. Since 2012, disposal of used cooking oils is controlled in Serbia delivering to the authorized institutions for further processing. Considering importance of the proper use and disposal of cooking oils, the aim of this paper is to explore the way of manipulation with used oils and the level of awareness on their proper elimination among employees in restaurants. The aim is to show the level of environmental awareness of employees in restaurants related to oils. The research results indicate a lack of education, information and awareness on environmental protection among employees related to the proper manipulation of used cooking oils in the hospitality industry.
