How do you handle Compressor Condensate?

[ImanCarrot]

There was a thread about how to handle old coolant, but I didn't want to hijack it so I thought I'd start a new one.

How do you handle the condensed water from your compressor- it's illegal to pour it drown the drains and illegal to just spray it onto the stones.

Am I ok to spray it into a 5 gallon drum and let it evaporate?

Thanks in advance!

You could fill that 5 gallon drum with soil, add a plant, then water it with the condensate. Nature's filtration system.

I send it out with the waste coolant and the recycle firm cleans and separates everything.

I never gave any thought to the legality of my just allowing it to go to the drain.....I possibly still don't

It depends on where your at, whether it is considered hazardous waste. In the USA we have fed laws, state laws, county laws and city laws. In some cities here it is illegal to even allow water from washing your car run in the street.
