Cooking oil can be used in oil lamps, if you are really concerned about what to do with it. If your power goes off and you want a light, you can use oil lamps for many hours. A bottle of vegetable oil will burn for a long time. I understand that olive oil is better than most vegetable oils for burning. I haven't tried it, but it's an idea rather than wasting it by throwing it away.
