What do you do with the grill grease?
After grilling, what do you all do with the grease that has accumulated? How do you extract it from the grill, and how do you dispose of it?

We don't do an actual grill, but we use a flat electric griddle. The worst is bacon grease. The grease is caught in the griddle catch pan. After cooking, we use paper towel and wipe it all down, then use the paper towel to absorb the bacon grease from the drip pan. Then throw the paper towel away in the trash. We go through a lot of paper towel, but it disposes of the grease in a good way.
If we have a fire going, I'll pour the grease over the fire. We do this at home too. Paper towel everything, pots and pans, anything greasy, and throw the paper away. Being on a septic tank at home, you don't want grease going through your pipes and turning hard, and what does get thorugh gets into your septic tank and then in your leaching lines clogging them up. Inside the camper, we always wipe the grease off everything, including the plates and forks so the bare minimal goes down the drain. Anything down the drain is subject to starting a clog, and in a camper that just is no fun at all.
With any kind of grill, this is the best way to clean it up. Paper towel everything and then toss the paper towel in the trash, unless you have the luxury to burn it (which we do at home).
