Waste water, what are you doing with it ?

Hello all,

Just wondering what you all do with waste water after wiping down the grout ? Especially when the customer hasn't ordered a skip.

water goes down a drain in street and sediment left goes in a watertight rubble sack

Pour it down road gutter drain then scoop excess grout out and bin with off cuts.

i tend to ether dig a hole and leave it open, then fill when finished,or tip and wash out over waste ground and wash down with hose pipe,failing that drink it!!!!:lol:

Waste water on the garden behind shrubs/shed etc for the rain to wash away, excess adhesive or grout into a bucket with the offcuts.

we leave it overnight and pour the water off the top and use it in the adhesive and put the sediment in adhesive bags as you cant get rid of it on most sites

Iye, im a big fan of removing a bit ot soil under trees, pour it away then cover again witht he soil. Same if there is a gravel drive. Dont like pouring it down street drains

 

[hillhead]

I usually tip it lightly around a bit of wasteground or behind a hedge then soak to disperse it

I've done all of the above, amazing how great minds think alike. I must admit, I thought I had invented the soil/gravel technique. But Davy G has beat me to it. Nice one Dave

Im a big fan of recycling so i pour of the water and scrape out the grout from the bottom of the bucket, and remix it with somme fresh grout for the next wall :smilewinkgrin:

Or maybe not :lol:
pour it under bushes dig a hole etc, have even had to take it home and dispose of it once its gone hard in the bucket as some places are to posh to dispose of it any where!!

What I was thinking Peckers. If I went digging holes in my customers gardens around there ornimental tree's I'd get a right ear full!
