Silver salts have been used in the past as an antibiotic. They kill a
lot of bacteria. However unless you're dumping commercial quantities,
(hundreds of gallons), not a gallon or two, and in your case probably a
lot less, it shouldn't cause any problem in a sewage treatment plant. I
know some people will tell you otherwise but you really can't cause that
much harm.

Aside from my Digital Pentax, I am the recipient of some of my Dad's
cameras. Included in the lot are a couple of Contaxes and a Leica M4.
The Tessar 50 mm is supposedly good. The M4 has an assortment of
lenses including what can either be described as a cannon or a do-it
yourself SLR. Besides, my PX-20 is feeling left out. I will have to
exercise it as well.
So....I am cosidering buying a bottle of T-Max, a bottle of rapid
fixer and a few rolls of Tri-X to use once I have shot up the ancient
4 rolls of Plus-X I found. I have a couple of Yankee tanks and a
single reel tank and what I think is a 3 reel tank. I will dump the
ancient Microdol down a convenient drain, clean the bottles and be in
business, I think. My scanner will scan 35mm negatives so I don't
have to fuss with my enlarger.
I have a few questions for the group though. If I dump the Microdol
into the town's septic system, will the Treatment Plant blow up or
otherwise stop functioning. Is there a good way to clean out the
plastic and glass (fixer) bottles or should I add to my collection?
Have I lost what's left of my mind. Do I shoot the 15? year old
Plus-X at 125, 64 32 speed? PS my LunaPro still works...I will need a
source for the PX625a cells though.
All suggestions read......some taken!
