this is actually a short article on how to dispose or reuse bacon grease:

Even the most ardent bacon lovers will admit that that dealing with leftover bacon grease is no fun.
What should you do with it? Let's start with what you should NEVER do: Pour it down the drain.
Even the tiniest amounts of bacon grease or cooking oil can clog up your pipes and ultimately back up sewer systems.
Rinsing with a lot of hot water as you pour it down the drain won't help. Once that grease cools down, it solidifies and sticks to pipes.
Luckily Earth 911 has plenty of suggestions for how to responsibly dispose, reuse, and even recycle your leftover cooking oil.
-Absorb small amounts of grease with shredded paper, used kitty litter, or other absorbent materials and then throw it in the trash.
-Pour oil in a metal container (coffee cans are a popular option). You can throw it out once it solidifies.
-Some people save bacon grease or used cooking oil to reuse for cooking. If you choose to do that, you might want to strain it first and store it in the fridge. Again, a coffee can comes in handy.
-A growing number of communities are offering residents the ability to recycle their cooking oil. Search Earth 911 for local options. |

My friend's stepfather saves a bunch of it and then cooks cabbage in it. It may sound gross, but it's mighty tasty.

My dad would always save it in a coffee can and then cook other stuff with it. Not the healthiest thing but it sure made other stuff taste really good.

Save it and use it with popcorn kernels in lieu of oil to pop yourself some bacon pop.
