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
I mean, what else am I supposed to do with it?
… No really, I’m asking.
If it’s something like bacon / beef grease just let it congeal in the pan then scrape it out into the garbage can.
If you don’t know someone that burns old oil put it in an old container and throw it away in the trash.
Civilized countries have collection stations for oil often at the same place you go for recycling.
Tell the US government about it. Then they will bring you democracy and liberate you from the oppressive oil. /j
If its oil, you might be able to donate it to a home diesel user
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.

So I thought this was a good idea until I did a search. Found tons of motor oil recycling.
