If you have a house with a garden / some top soil dig a small hole and burry it. Cover oil with dirt recently excavated. Also only works in non-winter months if you live in cold 🇨🇦 like me 😂
My mother taught me to use produce bags from the supermarket to dispose of oil and anything that might get ugly or stinky. They keep my garbage nice and tidy.
Truth told: that's why I don't fry. End of problem. (BTW, no arguing, fried food is DELICIOUS.) But I have to seriously watch calories, so I save it as a night out treat. Plus I don't know how to find the stuff that gels the fat. Good info though!
Turn on hot water. Let water run for a minute or two. Accidentally Throw warm oil down drain. Keep hot water running for another minute. Wait oil? Bonus if you put some Industrial soap mixed into the oil.
Another (inexpensive) way is to sprinkle baking soda on cooled oil. It clumps together and you can put it in the trash. Helps eliminate the odor as well.
Those powders are expensive. Plain stearic acid? Cheap. Just buy the acid. Comes in a nice big bag of powder and works 95% as well as the expensive stuff.
I've used quick oats to absorb it all and put it in like a coffee container or my dishwashing pod container so I can throw it in the garbage or recycle garbage it depended on where I lived.
You store your used oil in a jug. Then you dispose of it by giving it to the dump or a mechanic's shop. Like how your town hall told you to.
Why should you do it this way and not buy some starch to gel it? 1. This service is (usually) free. The starch stuff isn't. 2. Many people just throw the oleogel in the trash, contributing to the landfill problem. 3. When you drop off your fryer oil, it gets recycled into biofuels and oil byproducts. 3.a. This is good because it reduces your carbon footprint. 3.b. It also reduces your water footprint. 3.c. It also contributes to building the circular economies that we desperately need to build in the present era of waste and pollution.
I've used gelatin to trap the gunk at the bottom of the pan when I intend to reuse the oil. It makes a similar blob, but only with a small portion of the oil. This seems like a great next step when the oil has given up the ghost.
There is practically no recycling anymore anywhere of anything. It's too expensive to change it into something else. All trash pickup is thrown together.
Or you can fill it in a glass bottle with screw cap, close it after the bottle is full and now you can throw it in the trash!make sure it don’t break!! ✌🏻

i sop it up with paper towels and throw into the trash
Am i the only one that had the forbidden thought of taking a bite out of it
How does it dissolve in the trash? (If no commercial compost is available.)
Filter it and feed it your diesel engine… a little at a time… say 1 gallon to 100 gallons of diesel fuel!
I give to my husband. He dispose it with used engine oil.
I save a milk jug……
Give me the fucking oil
I always have a few empty jars, like from mayo, salsa, jam, and such. When it's cooled, I put it in one of the jars and into the garbage.

Pour it into a milk or juice juice.
I collect, in cold weather give it to 🐦/wildlife
Awesome, I’ll just go to the store and buy “powder product”. 🙄
The oil can be used as fuel for a Diesel car. And it can be burde or use as a firestarter.
Game changer
Why can't you use gelatin?
I pour it mixed with cheap dish detergent on the weeds outside around the house.
Curious why your shirt has formula for trisodium citrate.
Turn it into SOAP
That sweater!!! When you know you know!
Can’t you just pour it on the ground? Since it’s natural, it should be biodegradable.
I love peanut butter and oleo gel …
Exactly what is its name?
Where do you get it?

Great stuff. A few years ago, we purchased some at Daiso (U.S.) for $1.50@box.
He didn’t explain how to get it
i dump oatmeal in it, then out to the birds or whatever critter finds it. doesn't work as well as that gel 🙂
Why not use bulk steric acid? Lot cheaper.
tell them it causes dementia and heart attack. It destroys your health.

That grease wasnt even dirty lol 😂
The simple solution is to not use frying oil. Fry with fat which will solidify anyway.
I pour it into a pizza box and then put that in the recycle bin with the cat poop.

Throw it over the fence like I do.
Pour it in the grass
Where can I get it??
Call you local supermarket. A lot of them get paid for used oil and will let you dump your used oil into their bins.
I tried this but must not have purchased from a reputable seller (on Amazon) because it did absolutely nothing. 😢
Growing up we poured it behind the back fence, same as motor oil.
I throw them out in the woods (my backyard). I know not everyone has a woody background but I do.
Frying oil: besides using the sense of smell, is there any lab trick one could perform to determine its level of rancidity?

Pour it down the drain whilst it is still hot
