Every now and again, I'll fill a 5-gallon bucket with a 1 part bleach

the backyard like bird feeders and stuff. My question is how to dispose
of the bleach water afterwards? Do I schlepp it into the house and
pour it down the toilet or kitchen sink? Is it safe to pour on the
ground? I garden organically, and the last thing I want to do is ruin
the ecosystem I've created with bleach water.


It's not like Sodium Hypochlorite is all that nasty...once it gets done reacting
with stuff, you've basically got a weak solution of table salt left over.


What about the traces of nasty chlorinated organic compounds you just
created?
