With the dichromate bleach, I mix it with the exhausted developer prior to any disposal; this converts it from the hexavalent chromium(VI) ion, which is very water soluble and highly toxic, to the trivalent chromium(III) ion which is insoluble and while toxic, is much less harmful. The alkalinity of the developer also neutralizes the acid and I use a pH strip to confirm.
