I used to pour it into a glass jar. But these days I’m just using a paper towel or 3 after it dries and chuckin it in the bin.

Reduce, reuse, recycle.
I try not to deep fry anything, my body doesn’t need it, and the convection oven does a decent job. Shallow frying can also do a similar job most times at the cost of some extra time.
Decent quantity of bacon grease get collected for reuse. Small amounts just get paper toweled. If I did give in and deep fry something, that oil is being reused all week. Go big or go home.
When I’m done with it, I grab the smallest sealable container from the recycling, out the cooled fat in it, and it goes in the trash. It usually isn’t more than a cup or 2.
Reusing cooking oil many times increases your cancer risk more than cooking alone. Fyi
Appreciate the concern. The air fryer has all but eliminated my home frying. I always hated throwing out the oil, but I know it’s not great to keep around, so I was never big into frying at home.
