How do you dispose of cooking grease?

[Sara Noel]

Curious how you get rid of grease like bacon grease?

Maybe I'm supposed to be doing something eco-conscious and terrific with mine, but I put it in a coffee can and toss.

[Domestic Gal]

I do what cab 54 does.

[Michelle]

Yep, can & toss here too.

[baxjul]

Can and toss here also!

Sometimes I save the bacon grease. It is so good with fried potatoes!

[ktsmama]

If I have a can I pour and toss. Most of the time I get a couple of grocery bags and put one in the other, then I put several layers of newspaper in the bag and pour the grease on top so that the paper soaks up some of the grease. I tie the bag tight and put in the trash.

Of course you can not do this with hot grease! LOL

i put it in a can and toss in the trash. i usually use a corn can or one that fruit was in since i usually just make bacon that would be greasy.

[McD]

I just throw it in the trash can.

I save bacon grease for us in cooking. I've got a tupperware in the back of the refrig. All other types gets poured over dry dog and cat food. My pets love it and it keeps them clear. No hairballs here.

were told through our waste watch program to put it in our compost bins.

I double bag and throw away. I am thinking it would attract lots of critters if I were to compost?

~I save my bacon grease and use it to flavor other meals. I re-use my frying oil 5 or 6 times before tossing it. So every other month I toss oil. I usually pour it into a baggie and put it in my kitchen trash can. I always thought grease/oil was harmful to a compost pile. Now I have to check to see if that's a myth....~

We're lucky, we rarely have any grease to throw out. But usually I toss it into a bottle or can and when that's full, I toss it.

I use a margarine container (with a lid) and keep it in the freezer. When it is full I throw it out.

[annymoll]

I take it to the barn cats.
