Licence
Yes, you can use these
Everything on this page is published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) . Copy it, print it, put it on your own website, adapt it for your borough. The only condition is that you credit London Oil Collection Ltd and link back. No permission needed and no need to tell us, though we would like to hear about it.
That is deliberate. Council FOG pages, business improvement districts, water retailers and environmental health teams all need material like this, and asking permission is friction that stops it being used. So the permission is already granted, in writing, on this page.
