BW Chemistry and Disposal
Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2020 9:11 pm
This has probably been discussed before, but I am new here.
I just bought a full set up of Eco Pro BW Chemistry, including their XTOL developer, and am anxious to get going. I live in an area with septic tanks and the Haz Mat disposal site locally isn't darkroom chem friendly. Just wondering which, if any, of the chemicals could be responsibly disposed down the drain. I'm assuming Photo Flo would be safe. Just wondering if any of the other chemicals could be treated in such as way (diluted, exhausted, etc...) to make them safe for disposal. If I have to I will haul of it it a disposal site - a far drive away, but was wondering if anyone had any input on how to minimize this - especially since I am using more environmentally safe chemicals.
