Subject: Disposing of grease from ground beef - do you think this is gross?
I do this, but I probably wouldn’t service ground beef to company.

We have trash collection places that have oil disposal stations, that is where the grease should go, not into your trash.
What? Yeah..let me add that to my to do list.
I guess we will thank you when our city burns down.
That's not how any of this works. Oil (not grease) I large quantities is accepted for recycling. It's not a fire hazard.

This is from your own link:
Learn to control the disposal of FOG during food preparation, cleanup and kitchen maintenance. Wipe off dishes, pots, pans and cooking utensils before rinsing or washing. Collect waste cooking oils for recycling. Residents and Businesses can dispose of cooking oil any day during Household Hazardous Waste hours at one of the county disposal facilities at the I-66 Transfer Station or I-95 Landfill Complex. Only cooking oil (remains a liquid at room temperature) is accepted, not fats and grease. DO NOT pour cooking oil into the motor oil recycling tanks. Acceptable types of cooking oils include vegetable, peanut, canola, olive, and deep fryer oils. "Can the Grease" and dispose of it in the trash.
Very clearly says to bring it to specified disposal of oil places in yoru county. As it is in MoCo. Not to put it in your trash for collection. Way to go Einstein.
Dear god. It says to bring cooking OIL to county sites for recycling. It says they don’t accept FAT and GREASE. It says “Can the grease”, which means put it in a can, and dispose of it in the trash. This thread is about FAT and GREASE from cooking ground beef.

Not sure why you needed to point out that it was organic. Fat is fat is fat. So no it's not gross. But if your guests are that judgemental then consider taking all the beef out of the pan, let it sit so the fat gets hard and then swipe with a paper towel.

It says oil. The congealed fat from ground beef isn’t oil. It says fats and grease, the topic of this thread, are NOT accepted.
You’re a jerk and an idiot, Einstein.
This is why you can't argue with the stupid.

I line a bowl or mug with tinfoil, then pour the grease into it. Once hard, I wad up the tinfoil and toss it. I do the same with bacon grease. Works great!

Ground beef is super gross to begin with.
