Jim, Our supplier/manufacturer (whose name will not be mentioned so as to not offend anyone's sensibilities) provides us with a 55gal drum for collection which is picked up by our distributor when full at no charge. They (the mfr.) have received a classification as 'recyclable material' and handle all paperwork & manifesting, it can't get much easier. Contact me off TechNet if you want more info.
