Pour used oil down the drain.
Pour hot grease (including poultry skimming) down the drain.
Pour grease down the storm drain.

Do:

Use mesh drain strainers to catch solid food scraps for disposal in a trash can.
Pour liquid food scraps, e.g. sauces, milkshakes, into a container and place in the trash can.
Scrape plates over the trash can or dry wipe with a paper towel.
Pour used oil into a container with a top (the original if available) so it can be reused, recycled, or placed in the trash can for disposal.
Pour cooled grease into a grease can or other container for disposal and/or absorb with paper towels or newspaper.
Pour cooled grease into a container, seal it and place it in the trash.
