All I can tell you is that I dispose mine through the sepetic sytem.   I 
hold everything in a three gallon container first since that pretty much 
neutralizes everything.

The local community college has 25 darkroom stations, and  disposes of 
their chemicals the same way.   This is in California and they have a 
permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board.  They don't even 
have to recover the silver.
