Like you don't even have to be a homeowner to know not to do this! I know this is shit posting, but there ain't no way you make it to reproductive age without figuring this one dumb thing out‽
Some people (like Ben Shapiro and his ilk) make it to adulthood not knowing how to do laundry or clean the dishes in the first place. ... and they're proud of it.

Step 1: Get chickens
Step 2: add oats ( oat flakes ) to the pan with grease
Step 3: stir until they've absorbed the fat
Step 4: treat the chickens
Step 5: ??????
Step 6: Profit!

But its delicious
why would you bother with a jar? just leave the pan to cool then wipe it up with some paper and toss it in the food waste bin
Because I add the grease to my compost heap and I don't like paper towel.
I hate using paper towels. I use those silicone flexible spatulas to get the oil that's taking too long to drop down.

I use a jar because saved bacon grease makes for a tasty pre-salted lipid additive for free!
why would you bother with a jar? just leave the pan to cool then wipe it up with some paper and toss it in the ~~food waste bin~~ drain.

Pour it down the drain to punish the landlord for raising the rent.
Obligatory response to this meme e'er time, "Sigh, if it's on septic its massively expensive infrastructure the tenant will be held liable for 10/10 times, and will only render one less living space habitable. And if it's on sewer it's punishing the public's wastewater treatment facility."
Aand resume.
If it's septic it's whatever. Bigger issue if it's not, then tax dollars are required to fix it, and it's just wrecking infrastructure

We always have at least one thing on our counter that would otherwise be thrown into recycling, but it was rinsed and kept because it'll make a good grease receptacle.
Can, pour the grease into a can. Glass is likely to energetically and spontaneously disassemble when temperature shock occurs.
Yeah you don't pour it immediately. You wait for it to cool off a bit.
Pour it when it's hot and you don't have as much cleaning.
You can still get less cleaning pouring it warm. Won't cause temperature shock on the glass.
Not using glass removes the necessity to wait. Therefore someone who got distracted doesn't have to scrape congealed fat. Also no worries about dropping it and having grease and broken glass on the floor.
I can't tell if people here are pouring their grease down the drain.
The answer is don't. "It will be fine" for the person who told you that it will be fine, but it will absolutely fail for you. You know that by now. Also that guy is lying and already had to snake his drain but won't tell you that.

It isn't put in the jar to throw away, its put in the jar to cook more food with later
How long does bacon grease last? How can I tell if it went bad? Does it last longer in the fridge?
It'll last 6 months easy in the fridge. But try to get most of the solids out with a fork when it's still hot. And when ya use it, don't double dip - new spoon/knife each time ya need some.
Fake news, I've never had bacon grease last that long. That's why I'm not thin.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
They make ones with a mesh filter you pour it through
For maximum enjoyment, drink it directly from the jar. Preferably while warm.
And use for tortillas and savory pie crust.
When my grandma had "too much" of it she would mix it with seeds and put it out for the woodpeckers in winter
