It ruins things for everyone in your local area though. Fatburgs aren't localised to your landlords house.

Yeah.
They're not doing maintenance until something happens.
Like waste water coming up your drains, flooding your apartment with black, hardened, crystalized fat and stinking water because your upstairs neighbor has the washing machine running but the water can't go anywhere because the waste water main is clogged somewhere between your flat and the one below yours. This will happen on the day after tradies finish putting new laminate flooring in your entire apartment.
Don't ask me how I know.

Just throw some dishwasher detergent down there once a month. It'll be fine.

Don't pour hot grease in a glass jar or it'll shatter and spill hot grease all over your counter and then when you grab a flimsy piece of plastic from the recycling and try to push it on to stop the spill and the plastic collapses and hot grease goes all over your forearm and gives you 2nd degree burns and your floor is covered in broken glass you will regret it.

You're not just "sticking it to the man" when you do this though --- you're being a dick to your city, its residents, and employees.

I once cut out a piece of pipe in some guys home, because it was all fucked. The pipe was suuuuper heavy and upon inspection it looked like someone poured concrete down there. It was very hard to clean, the guy had to hammer on it while having a pressure washer wash it out. As it turns out, his wife used multiple washing tabs in the machine to make it extra clean. She did that for over a decade.

I can't tell if people here are pouring their grease down the drain.
The answer is don't. "It will be fine" for the person who told you that it will be fine, but it will absolutely fail for you. You know that by now. Also that guy is lying and already had to snake his drain but won't tell you that.

Well she clearly wasn't preheating her hot tap water.

That’s why I pour it into the jar in the sink.
That and I’m really messy and the sink is the easiest place to clean up spilled grease.

Excess coffee cups received as gifts work too.

We always have at least one thing on our counter that would otherwise be thrown into recycling, but it was rinsed and kept because it'll make a good grease receptacle.

Pour it down the drain to punish the landlord for raising the rent.

why would you bother with a jar? just leave the pan to cool then wipe it up with some paper and toss it in the food waste bin

Burn the grease in woodstove or fireplace for extra heat

I use a Pyrex container if I want to safe the grease. Otherwise I make a bowl of aluminum foil, pour it into that, and toss it once it hardens.
