I used to pour it into a glass jar. But these days I'm just using a paper towel or 3 after it dries and chuckin it in the bin.

Reduce, reuse, recycle.

I try not to deep fry anything, my body doesn't need it, and the convection oven does a decent job. Shallow frying can also do a similar job most times at the cost of some extra time.

Decent quantity of bacon grease get collected for reuse. Small amounts just get paper toweled. If I did give in and deep fry something, that oil is being reused all week. Go big or go home.

When I'm done with it, I grab the smallest sealable container from the recycling, out the cooled fat in it, and it goes in the trash. It usually isn't more than a cup or 2.
