What's the best way of disposing rendered fat. [View all]

I have a 2 lb coffee can filled with grease. What's the best way to dispose of it? I could throw out with the trash that goes to the transfer station, but I don't think this is the best way to do it. Any suggestions on getting rid of this stuff?
