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
Don’t overreact. Depends on temperature and mostly how many times.
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.
