yesSo it sounds like I need to figure out how to get it into an inside drain and not into the storm drain. This is getting a bit tricky.
Is it ok during the cure to have a lid on the garbage can?

That’s why you let it sit in the sun first. 1:10 dilution doesn’t tell you how much bleach is in the water. Is he using a sodium hypochlorite that is 10% or is it 5% concentration? Plus he has diluted this 1:10. It’s not as much chlorine as you think. But better safe.bleach water (the kind you drink) has 1/8 of a teaspoon to 1 gallon of water.
This solution (a 1:10 dilution) meaning 1 teaspoon to 10 teaspoons of water is FAR more concentrated - and certainly not drinkable.
Its not recommended to mix more than several tablespoons of bleach and peroxide. I dont think this will work well for 80 gallons of bleach water.
Bleach water is not the same as 1:10 diluted bleach (unless you can give a reference) - there are reasons why municipalities dont allow it.
I agree with you - this solution is far higher than 20-30 ppm lol. 8.5% bleach (standard) is 85000 ppm. Diluted 1:10 ITS 8500 PPM - It would definitely kill grass, etc
Apologetixally - a 4o gallon brute trash can int he sun is not the same as a 2 inch plate of water. The whole amount needs to be exposed to sun - to be equivalent.That’s why you let it sit in the sun first. 1:10 dilution doesn’t tell you how much bleach is in the water.

BTW - it does. you look at the amount of bleach - then you dilute it 1:10 - assume thats correct - you know exactly how much bleach is in that solution at that time. You're right - after 24 hours you dont know - but thats the key point - you dont know - so either measure it - or stop pretending you knowThat’s why you let it sit in the sun first. 1:10 dilution doesn’t tell you how much bleach is in the water.

I’m not encouraging anyone to dump anything down a storm drain. I’m not saying that it’s safe to put on grass. I’m not trying to make an argument. I just think that after the chlorine has been in a container with rocks and has been sitting in the sun maybe after diluting it further I would pour it on my lawn or over a patch gravel. I don’t think it’s that big a deal. I wouldn’t spend money to get rid of this water. That’s all.Apologetixally - a 4o gallon brute trash can int he sun is not the same as a 2 inch plate of water.

Come on. The point is - Just be responsible. Dont toss a bunch of chlorine down the street into the drain - because someone supposedly (which they didnt) drink it int he military).
Dont just make up - keep it in the sun for 24 hours then dump it - no now knows.
The fact is - the only way one knows - is to test the chlorine. Other than that its total silliness.
That is - if you care about the fish, etc downstream. There are so many misconceptions here - its really kind of unbelievable.

Ok man. I guess you bested me.lol, I only chimed in to attempt to help someone save some $ because I work with chlorine everyday. And I do know that the sun destroys this stuff really quickly without the presence of cya.Right - so I was just saying - when you don't know - dont recommend things? Test the chlorine level with a test kit as a minimum - before you dump it on your lawn lol. How much would it cost to reseed 80 gallons of lawn.
I didnt best - you - and I never tried to 'best you'. But - I'd be interested in your experience with 1:10 diluted chlorine bleach on a day to day basis. (seriously) - Most people dont. Most people who think they do - don't.Ok man. I guess you bested me.lol, I only chimed in to attempt to help someone save some $ because I work with chlorine everyday.

the street drains in NJ have pictures of fish on them. The tub or utility sink would be a better option imo. at least ur 10:1 solution would get treatedHow is it going down the drain of your house any different than it going down the drain the street?
They both go the same place, at least around here
I’m my neighborhood these are not around so maybe we are different areas?
