Default Let's start from the beginning

The OPs premise appears to be cooking oil is a hazardous, toxic or other regulated waste. It is not.

Hazardous waste is covered under the Resources Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA). Cooking oil is not covered, period. What about the other Major law, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)? No, that is PCBs only. What about ORM (other regulated materials). Like bbq briquettes (which are regulated), no not covered.

So, you have essentially you have a can of peas. Spray plants, put it on the grass, throw it away, pour it down the drain. The reason it IS NOT regulated is it is harmless in the quantities that an individual posseses.
