Lingering damage

Wait you're not supposed to do that
It will also make life just a smidge harder for every tenant after you. But if it helps you feel better, fuck 'em.
No it's not. Use lard or other animals fat, beef fat is the worst.
I mean, what else am I supposed to do with it?
.... No really, I'm asking.
Tell the US government about it. Then they will bring you democracy and liberate you from the oppressive oil. /j
Pour it into a bottle and throw it in the trash
Put it in a jar or can and put it on the compost or garbage
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.
Chug it or put in old bottle or jar and throw in the trash.
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.
If its oil, you might be able to donate it to a home diesel user
You should read about fatbergs before doing this though.
Yeah, I get that people feel like they have so little control over their lives that they feel the need to generally be passive aggressive assholes to people they deem unworthy, but this is just an overall dick move. Having working public/municipal plumbing is a good thing.
As far as I know oil is ok. It's liquid even when cold. But lard or grease will clump in cold water.
The best thing to do is save your used grease in a can and put it in the compost or garbage bin
Bacon grease is a good example of something you freeze in an old can to throw away.
Can also be used to make homemade fire starter if you're going camping. Mix it with wood pulp till you get a dry paste.
Alternative : save your grease in a jar and heat it up and pour it down the sink the moment your slumlord increases your rent and prices you out of the building.
I use Ghee or Tallow when cooking. Both are solid at room temperature. I wait for the left over grease to cool down, and wipe it up with a paper towel. Easy peasy.

Make it vegetable shortening
Additional tip: If you're a traditional artist, your acrylic and oil paint should be even more effective :D
Don't worry by the way; I know that this is a really bad idea. Source: Every art classroom I've been in has had at least one clogged sink at all times.
