What should I do with fat and oil if it can't go down the drain?

Homeowners can collect grease in a metal can and, once it cools, place it in the trash.  Restaurants and other commercial food preparation activities that generate a large quantity of fat and oil are required to have grease traps installed and have them pumped regularly to keep grease from entering the sewer.
