Question
I have olive oil from Otzar Beit Din, and the bottle is finished. What should I do?
Answer
A bottle of oil that has reached its end should wait until the last flow stops and the oil begins to drip little by little. After three drops have dripped, it is permissible to dispose of what remains on the sides of the vessel [but if the bottle is left and oil accumulates at its bottom, it is forbidden to dispose of it].
