I save empty foil type coffee bags for disposal of grease drippings. I don't want to pour it down my sink drain and risk clogs nor do I want it puddling in the bottom of my kitchen trash bag. I drain the fat from browning ground beef or other meats into a used foil pie pan to cool and then transfer it to the coffee bag for disposal. Most bags have little clips you can fold in at the top to secure also. This keeps the fat contained in my trash bag and prevents clogged drains.

I'm on a septic tank and don't care to clog my pipes or system. I also recycle everything I can. I keep empty pickle & other no-need-for jars under the kitchen sink, washed of course, for the purpose of holding used cooking oil. When the kitchen jar is full I pour the used grease with a $Store funnel into an empty Javex bottle marked USED OIL & dispose of the now empty kitchen jar. The recyclers in Amherstburg, ON will pick up the full Javex bottle with Used Oil providing that it is clearly marked. Perhaps your area does the same.
I put all my grease in an empty plastic ice cream container and keep it in the freezer. When it's full, I just put it in the trash on trash day.
