Drained into a old pasta sauce jar.
And we use to separate jar for bacon fat and use bacon fat for cooking.

I was just thinking the same thing. I don't cook a single thing that requires fat drainage.

Olive oil, vegetable oil, etc. are still fat.

If you make veggie tempura, for example, what are you frying in?

Do you never fry veggies or tofu in oil?

Definitely our into a jar, then wipe the pan with paper towels.

Interesting statement. I don’t care that you don’t eat meat, but you sound insufferable and holier than thou. Anything cooked in oil or butter will cause grease, even healthy oils. Are you also too good to cook with oil, too?

If I'm running low on paper towels, I'll send it down with a bunch of dawn and leave the water running for 10 minutes. I've never had a pluming issue

If you use oils to cook it is still the same thing.

Never.

I pour mine into the trash can or an empty container.

NEVER. Bag it, soak it in paper towels, put in a old jar anything but in the sink drain. It could cost thousands of dollars to clear the fat clogged pipes! Also, it messes up the sewer lines and that's your tax dollars!

Oof. No, never.

I was at my sister’s house and helping her cook. She told me “here’s a colander to drain the taco meat over the sink,” and I was like…I use paper towels to sop up the fat, because fat can’t go down the sink. She was 45 years old the day she learned that fat down the sink was probably why the frequently had kitchen plumbing problems.

No! It can cause a neighbors sewage to back up. Or your own.

Recently went to a friends house for dinner and was both shocked and horrified as I watched them basically pour an entire pan of fat down their drain. Are people really this stupid? How common is this? This is basically the worst idea of all time unless you like huge plumber bills.
