    Pour the grease in a hole outside. Just dig a hole in the dirt where you don’t walk a lot and pour it in there. It’ll be fine.

      Until you go outside and find every woodland creature in a 10 kilometer radius has dug up your front lawn looking for more bacon flavored dirt.

        Same, and doing this is devastating for whatever biosystem is in that soil.

        Small amounts, it’ll cope with. But for industrial amounts, or if you deep fry, please no.

      there was a time when I saw a food show on tv about steamed burger place. I thought it seemed easy enough so I tried making it myself. The burger runoff water/grease left over got dumped next to a tree in my yard. For the next several weeks everyone walking their dog would have to wrangle it awag from the spot because they would zoom in as soon as they smelled it. I also tried dumping it on the road thinking the rain would wash it away but the rain just chilled and hardened it and dogs would lick it up, further distressing their humans.

      edit: also recommend trying the food. steamed cheese is spoogy and really neat on burger
