Question about handling chemical waste from home film development

I shoot a lot of street photos on film and develop at home, but I'm concerned about where all the used chemicals go.

A few liters a month really adds up over time. I get why you're worried about pouring it down the drain. A lot of us use a neutralizer before disposal, but it never feels totally right. The package instructions make it seem fine, but it's hard to shake that nagging feeling. I've been looking into local hazardous waste drop offs as a better option. Honestly, this is the one part of home developing that bothers me too.

What's the fee like at those local drop-offs, @the_kai?
