After reading about waste oil coagulant powder used in japan I found that it is simply Stearic acid. It comes in powder form, I believe some use it when making candles. It’s fairly inexpensive. A few of spoonfuls into hot oil and it congeals the oil into a fatty lump as it cools that can be dumped into the bin.

How much oil are people using? I just mop up grease with some kitchen roll if it’s too much to just clean with soap.
deepfrying at home. I use the japanese powder myself and am excited to learn there might be a cheaper alternative!
Do many people really do that though?
i know two people with countertop fryers, and a third person who just does it in a big pot on the stove!
