I'm the only one in my family who eats meat. So I tend to make a massive pot of pork and sausage stew and freeze it in portions. I start eating bacon sandwiches as I'm about to run out for precisely this reason.
Make soap from the fat, extract glycerin from the soap, make nitroglycerin from the glycerin. The fat is the easiest to get ingredient unless you're wartime rationing.
Mine doesn't even collect glass, gotta cycle to the beach where they have a collection bin. Not sure what our elderly neighbours do now that I think about it, quarter of households here don't even have a car.
After reading about waste oil coagulant powder used in japan I found that it is simply Stearic acid. It comes in powder form, I believe some use it when making candles. It's fairly inexpensive. A few of spoonfuls into hot oil and it congeals the oil into a fatty lump as it cools that can be dumped into the bin.
When your sewer backs up, even if you're not the one responsible for the repair, it's definitely going to still be your problem. Also, grease blobs can travel way downstream in sewer pipes and cause problems for entire neighborhoods

Use it to make a blinding stew

Of course you shouldn't pour it down your drain, you should only pour it down a landlord's drain

If you have separate food waste which goes for biogas production or plastic waste which goes for burning, you can put it in those
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 232d
in which case it's important to remember first pouring the fat onto a bunch of paper towels, to contain the mess.

We have 1l collection bottles that go into communal return automats when full.

Very good for making the stew that blinds you for a day

I do think it's ideal for a stew that blinds you for a day
microcapybara@sopuli.xyz · 8 pts · 238d
Yes, make sure to save the crunchy bits as well for garnish and texture when you make a one-day blinding stew.
SpikesOtherDog@ani.social · 14 pts · 239d
Just pour it into the trash. If it's really hot, I pour it into a can first or let it cool.
rbos@lemmy.ca · 8 pts · 239d
Or into the compost. Putting organics in the trash smells bad fast.
I love municipal compost so much.
BlackVenom@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 239d
I thought fatty stuff was bad for compost
rbos@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 239d
It's mostly fine, depending on how your local place is set up. Ours can handle it, but for large amounts they recommend dropping it off at a depot.

Bad for garden compost in big amounts. No problem for commercial compost facilities.

Put the grease in a jar, use the grease later to lubricate your guillotine, and then wish your nearest scrooge a merry Christmas >:3

How much oil are people using? I just mop up grease with some kitchen roll if it's too much to just clean with soap.
UntitledQuitting@reddthat.com · 4 pts · 238d
deepfrying at home. I use the japanese powder myself and am excited to learn there might be a cheaper alternative!
