Abstract-In indonesia, a substantial waste cooking oil from households is being disposed to drainage and soil, according to the recent survey conducted in bogor, causing environmental damages of water and soil pollutions, as well as increase in ghg emission. in urban areas of Japan, waste cooking oil is mostly being solidified and disposed as incinerating waste, whereas in local areas, it is being disposed into drainage and causing sewage system deterioration.The waste cooking oil recycling programs conducted by Bogor and Niigata cities were reviewed highlighting environmental and economical issues. Similarities were found, in total waste cooking oil amounts collected, and the 60% ratio of total recycled bio diesel fuel for their vehicle operations.Life cycle impacts in GHG emission of cooking oil were estimated using operationaldata of a factory as well as reported data of LCA studies. The environmental advantage of the waste cooking oil recycling, compared with the drainage and soil disposals as well as the complete use, did not necessarily encourage the recycling activities, due to economical and technical constraints, the latter case in the Bogor City seems to be easily overcome, than the issues of high labour costs in Japan.
