I know we're not supposed to pour grease down the drain-- I get it. I have a question though.
Can I add dawn dish soap and hot water to it & pour it, or is that still gonna fuck up the pipes???
The dish soap cuts through it to clean it off of dishes. Why wouldn't it neutralize the grease itself?

inb4 not my problem

I don't want to waste a ziploc bag that's just getting thrown into the trash. if i have an empty can around, i'll pour it in there, but that's not always the case.

Yes but only for small amounts of oil. With larger amounts, it's too hard to emulsify the oil and it ends up being easier to just pour it into a plastic bag or cup and throw it out

The water won't stay hot forever, eventually it cools and the fat will start to solidify again.

I just pool my old grease, motor oil, and transmission fluid into milk jugs and leave it at the local Democratic Party headquarters for my county. If they care so much about the environment, they can clean up my mess.

I also leave my old car parts in Walmart shopping carts.

soap does not "neutralize" grease. it attaches to it and helps to lift it off of a surface with water. but it will still congeal in your pipes and clog them. some pipes take longer than others.
just don't do it.

leaving shopping carts randomly in a parking lot is ok.

If you run soap water on grease, it'll stay unless something wipes it off, if anything it'll collect in a lower part of the pipes which you can't reach. This is my lazy method, aluminum foil, push into drain to make a cup shape, pour oil into the cup (don't get water in there), wait for it to solidify and throw away. Granted I have a steel drain but shouldn't be hot enough to mess up other drains. Or just keep a picklejar or something under the sink.

If you use the right ratio of soap and water, and agitate it enough, you will create an emulsion that will flow easily down your pipes. The emulsion will break at some point, but by then it's the city's problem.

Where in the hell does this happen? I've never heard of such a thing in my life. Every city I've lived in has had a place you can go to drop off oil but no one does it because it's much easier to just toss it in the trash, no one has ever come around just to pick up oil.

It's not that the pipes break or deteriorate, it's that the oil and grease sticks to the sides and slowly builds up. Enough build up and it'll start catching other food particles and more grease and oil and before long you've got yourself a clog.
