how does everyone dispose of their "garbage" water after water changes?

I personally don't see anything wrong with it, however "THE LAW" will have a big problem with that and I wouldn't want to see the fines when caught! Mine is pumped into the drywell where my laundry water goes during water changes. Any siponing water or skimmer water just gets thrown on the grass. Taz
