      If it’s not that much: soak it in a paper towel and throw that away. For frying: put it back in the bottle and throw that away if the oil is spend.

      Put it in a jar or can and put it on the compost or garbage

        Rather than throwing it away, you may have free options for recycling nearby, too. My county has a pretty robust program for residents available with regular recycling and hazardous waste like oil or paint in certain locations. There’s sometimes restrictions and sorting required from customers, but it’s usually pretty straight forward if you look it up

          So I thought this was a good idea until I did a search. Found tons of motor oil recycling.

            Ah, maybe try searching household hazardous waste recycling specifically. It’s possible the auto stores might accept all used oil products too, though. At least when I worked in the hazardous waste field for my county program, I mixed all the oil products, and they used it to heat the shops over the winter. We had a separate company that picked up stuff we couldn’t process, and my job was mostly sorting and combining what I could first. Afaik a lot of auto companies are doing the same hazardous waste bulk pick up.

      Civilized countries have collection stations for oil often at the same place you go for recycling.

      Tell the US government about it. Then they will bring you democracy and liberate you from the oppressive oil. /j

      If its oil, you might be able to donate it to a home diesel user

      If you don’t know someone that burns old oil put it in an old container and throw it away in the trash.

      If it’s something like bacon / beef grease just let it congeal in the pan then scrape it out into the garbage can.
