Hi Greg!
There has been very good advice given by many. I believe that the key is to keep the melt at just above freezing. So, it does not take so much time for the material removed to freeze back up again. Another matter, If there is a concern with metal contamination, use stainless steel shallow pans. They are readily available and do not cost too much.
Just my 2 cents.
Regards,
Ramon

We are going to drain and clean a wave solder pot in preparation for
conversion to lead-free solder.
We have not completely purged a wave solder pot in some time, and the
people in the know have moved on.
Does anyone have "best practices" recommendations for draining and handling
the solder (other than BE VERY CAREFUL ! ) ?
