Effluent Management  
IMPORTANT: 
IMPORTANT: 
Regulations and requirements regarding the proper disposal of 
photographic processing effluents vary by region and by locality.  
If your facility will use on-site waste management procedures (for example, silver 
recovery units) for silver-bearing effluents, contact the municipal sanitary sewer 
authorities for the discharge requirements and permit application procedures, as 
applicable.  
If you will manage silver-bearing effluents off-site, contact your local solid waste or 
hazardous waste authorities to obtain regulatory and permit guidance.  
Because it is customary practice to discharge the non-silver bearing effluents to the 
sanitary sewer system, contact the sewer authorities about proper treatment at your 
local municipal treatment facility. 
Chemical Concentrates  
Certain concentrates may be considered hazardous waste and require special 
attention. If you must dispose of chemical concentrates as waste material, contact 
your local solid waste or hazardous waste authorities to obtain disposal information. 
Chemical Filters  
When you clean the chemical filters for the silver-bearing working solutions, collect 
the rinse water and direct it to a silver recovery unit for treatment or collect it for 
treatment at an off-site facility. 
Container Recycling and Disposal 
Use cold water for rinsing all containers. 
In most regions, it should be possible to participate in your local community recycling 
program. Check with the program authorities to determine if the packaging materials 
are eligible for local recycling. If they are eligible, disassemble the package and place 
the bottles and corrugated material in your recycling bin. Follow all material 
preparation instructions from the recycler. If local recycling is not an option, dispose 
of the empty bottles and the package with your normal solid waste.
