You can take the sludge once it gets to be a significant amount say over a 
pound and sell it to Rio Grande, or David H. Fell or even Hauser and Miller.  
They buy excactly that kind of sludge from jewelers who trap the sludge with a 
drain gizmo.  That way you can get money instead of paying it out.

I have a septic tank and am mostly concerned with the silver in my fixer 
poisoning the system. The county recycling station will take fixer, but they 
will charge me $8 per gallon to do so. I don't generate enough to get a silver 
recovery unit, so I put my spent fixer in a tray outdoors where it won't 
collect rain, and won't be bothered by critters, and I let the water evaporate. 
One of these days, I'll stir up the sludge, and give my recycling center $8 
worth.
