Something like this is probably your best choice as your not introducing a new hazard regardless of the oil type/source

For obvious reasons, no kitty litter or saw dust should be used

I have used absorbent granules.  We build these into the plan by dispersing and then having a solid cleanup/sanitation plan.  Make sure they are saturated when you put them in the dumpster or else you can run the risk o dumpster fire though.... not that something like that has ever happened to me... ever  :shutup:

Have a spill kit on hand.  I second the absorbent pads.  Those work well but for large spills you will want something more robust.
