To wait to responsibly dispose of cooking oil in a container

Kids made fried chicken and the cooking oil has been sitting in a deep pan for 4 days. What do people normally do? I’m not used to deep-frying, I was going to wait to dispose of it in a suitable container but OH says pour it down the sink…

We pour it in a pot in the garden and the animals all have a little treat

I find a container with a lid (yoghurt tub or the empty oil bottle) and just accept it’s not going to be recycled - don’t pour it down the sink!
