Default Bacon fat - how do you dispose of it?

We don't cook using bacon fat. As a result, we keep the fat in a can under the sink. Every so often, the can into which we pour the fat gets full and we have to get rid of it.

If we took it to the transfer station (dump), we couldn't put in the "household trash" section because of the can. Since the can is (not really) unclean, we can't put it in with the cans. I could scrape the fat out of the can with a spatula and dump the fat into our "household trash" bag. Is this kosher? (pun intended)

I am not an outdoorsy person, but it occurs to me that some form of wildlife might think bacon fat was delish. But I don't know for sure and I certainly do not want to attract bears and/or critters..

What do YOU do with it?
