Almost compos mentis again after an... interesting/lovely week, I try to
prune my overloaded inbox. Most seem to be taken care of, but I must have
saved this because no one answered????

Hi all...
Just wondering if I should take any precaution in tossing 1% selenium
solutions used for argyrotypes...?
Down the drain with water, or to the waste site along with the stronger
dilutions used for silver printing?
Thanks...

The only comment of any possible use I can add would be that one variable
is where you live. If you're in a city where 100 toilets are flushing
every minute, it's much less serious than in a rural area, or, heaven
forfend, a septic tank of your own.
I however have put buckets of dubious stuff outside under the porch, and
found that in due course they evaporate & I can scrape up whatever solid
residue & dispose of in regular trash. I cleared this with NYC EPA and
was told that in my amounts it was .... irrelevant.
