This may not be the answer you want to hear, but when our publishing
company moved into a new building in L.A. the county had us build a
holding tank system with glass pipes.....I am sure plastic would work
well. And send all the chemicals to a holding tank. The holding tank
was then emptied and removed as toxic waste. I don't feel it would be a
good idea to put it in your septic system

Subject: [OM] Darkrooms and septic tanks
This is a plea for enlightenment... I may have an opportunity to include
a small darkroom in our remodeled house. One concern is that we use a
septic system in an environmentally sensitive area just west of Austin,
TX, near the Colorado river. Is there info out there on the safe
disposal of relevant chemicals?
I'm thinking of limiting myself to 35mm and black and white, to make it
simpler and more compact. I'm hoping there will be enough demand for B&W
film that I can get all the supplies I need for the next few years! We
will be digging holes and doing some new foundation work next spring so
we can look into a custom disposal system if needed.
All pointers most welcome...
Happy New Year to the list (and let's donate for relief in Asia)
Phil
