What liquids are you going to dispose of? There are dozens of different chemicals used in tanning processes... Some are easily disposed of and others are hazardous. Tell us what you're using and we'll try to help.
lutan or similar tanning solutions
You can re-use safetee acid as long as it looks clean and the pH stays right. Once its dirty, I usually dump in a little baking soda and dump it in the yard (it supposedly breaks down into fertilizer). I've never used lutan and can't comment on it.
