To wonder how to get rid of liquid fat?

I put in jar or plastic container then bin. Keeping fat our of the water system is more important than recycling every single recyclable thing

I pour into a small bowl and refrigerate which makes it solidify then put into a paper bag and place in food recycling or kitchen bin.
if it’s a relatively small amount then use kitchen paper towels to absorb and place in kitchen bin. It’s worth doing this with any greasy pots and pans like a frying pan or baking tray.
The problem with pouring it down the sink is that it can solidify somewhere along the way and then food particles etc get trapped and you will have a blockage.

With stuff like that I would put it in a bowl and stick it in the fridge - the fat/oil would then solidify and I'd skim it off the top and put into food waste. I'd then flush the no-longer-fatty juice down the loo.

Another way I have disposed of oil is to soak it into used teabags. I've usually dried the teabags out (I have a dehumidifier running in one room at all times - don't ask) and so they can soak up a reasonable amount safely. You could also use stale bread or unused flour in the same way, then put them in food waste.

Why don't you put the fat in the milk container in the bin?

It seems environmentally stupid to buy and ship a chemical product rather than just putting the fat into a used yogurt pot in the bin.

Just pour it into a jar, put in fridge, put into food waste once solid.

I never throw away meat fat, I use it.
It's full of flavour, so good for roast veg, fried eggs, soup base, etc.

I am so glad you posted this question and got this response. I store lleft over cooking fat in old milk containers and take it to the tip but this is a revelation. I have just bought that fat solidifier from Amazon as that sounds so much easier!!

I have a dog so have dog poo bags. I put some kitchen towel in them and pour or scrape any fat into them. We are allowed to put food waste in with our green bin (grass cuttings, etc) so that's where it goes - I never pit fat down the sink or toilet. The same goes for any dairy products that have gone off - yoghurt, cheese, butter, cream even milk. I use kitchen towel to wipe frying pans out when I've friend bacon or sausages, etc and put that in the green bin too.

I just pour mine back into the bottle it came in and then chuck it in the bin. Some 'tips' have oil parts where you can get rid

I tip it onto the ground behind my shed. Probably not best practice, but I don't do it often.

If it's excess oil from something like a casserole, I sometimes freeze it in an old dip pot. Then I have flavourful oil for when I'm cooking next. Waste not...

I pour fats into an empty tin to solidify.
Oil is poured into an empty milk or oil bottle that has a screw top lid.

When each is full it goes into the general waste.

Never, ever, put any fats or oils into the sink - unless you really like the idea of your shit coming back up the toilet and flooding your home.

I put it into a tub that I plan to throw away and when I use kitchen roll I put that in the tub to soak up the oil and then bin it.

I add some flour then put the goo in the food bin.

Pour it into a cup/bowl, let it solidify and then bin or pop it in the food waste bin.

I didn’t know this! Il have to get one! 😀

Do you have a food waste bin collection? We keep the previous oil bottle and pour all leftover fat into it. When it is full it goes into the food waste collection bin. Hot fat from meat gets soaked up by paper towels, or scraped off onto paper tools when it has cooled, and binned in the general kitchen waste bin.

Don’t put it down your drain, not even with lots of hot water and washing up liquid. We had to call plumbers twice this year to clear fatbergs, despite years of carefully recycling fat. At least one of the fatbergs was actually from a property further upstream. We know this because we watched another chunk come through while we had the inspection hatch up!

I recycle most glass, but keep hold of larger jam jars or mayonnaise pots and pour it into them. Then put in the bin.

If it won’t harden I pour it into some sort of container from the recycling bin and put it in the main bin

I keep old jars and takeaway tubs for this purpose.

When we cook anything that has fat in it we add it to any breadcrumbs or stale bread put it in the fridge and make fat balls for the birds . They love it and it’s good for the environment .

I usually pour it on to some kitchen roll and bin it.

I'd go with the advice to use an old plastic bottle, or carton of some sort.

Also, it's not just the water company, your waste pipe will eventually block up, even with oil.

I pour the cooled fat into a food bag, tie it and put it into my normal bin.

😱 you sound like my mother. She always used to reuse the same fat in her frying pan. Anyone having a fried egg would have a bit of last week’s one with it!

I would be pouring it into a drippings bowl that I keep in the fridge and re-using it
