Hi, I'm on a septic and well system and I can tell you, no significant amounts of spent ferric chloride will be going down my drains. Kill the beneficial bacteria -- clog my drain field -- pay > $10K to repair (not to mention the stink that would make). Or kill the biological organisms I care most about... I'll save it in glass jars and get rid of it during one of the annual hazardous waste disposal events.
