    Interesting question that.

    First off, you shouldn't really be eating fried foods, which are obviously bad for you.

    For most people I would say use of ye olde sceptic tank, might be the best bet for at least making an effort to dispose of the chip fat.

    By far the most interesting way of safe chip fat disposal is this
    http://www.edie.net/news/Archive/840.html clean diesel or biodiesel, which is much safer for the environment then it's fossil fuel counterpart.
    Oil that has been used to fry potatoes can be converted into an environmentally friendly diesel fuel faster and less expensively than current processes while producing an even higher grade fuel, say researchers at the the U.S. Department of Energy Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory.

    The process of converting vegetable oils or animal fats to diesel fuel is nothing new. Biodiesel fuel has been produced and tested for years as an alternative to petroleum based diesel fuel, or "petrodiesel."

    If you are stuck to get rid of the stuff, i have an idea, why not ring up the vegetable fat company and they might take it off your hands, or you could bottle it and throw it in the wheelie bin and let the dust-bin men take it away too,
