These are good rebuttals to discuss next time, if your neighbor is one of these big time lawn care types.

Does she bag her leaves or her grass clippings or do they go down the drain?

its not good to save it, often its dirtied by whatever you boiled.

in the past i have saved it in freezer to boil hot dogs or potatoes in when im in the mood but i quickly realized its way too much BS to do that and its easier to just mix a fresh batch in a small pot for that

storm drain, but had a lady yell and scream at me yesterday when she saw me.

I explained to her it was just seasoned water, but saw this morning her ranting on our ‘nextdoor’ app about me destroying the world.

It really belongs in the sewer, not the storm drain.
Hard to believe 27 people so far have downvoted this. He's absolutely right. Given the choice between the storm drain and the sewer, the sewer is easily the better decision.

Do people not realize the storm drain and the sewer are two different things?

Pour it along a pasture fence line behind my house. The salt and heat kills the grass.

I always pour in the nearest storm drain.


This, but it is always at night when no one is looking and I am drunk. It is almost more fun trying to do a storm drain purge under the veil of secrecy than the actual cooking of the crawfish.

I've been dumping it down the storm drain for over 30 years. Never had anyone ever mention it might be an environmental issue.

This isnt necessarily the case. Some municipalities combine sewer water and storm water prior to treatment due to antiquated systems.

What do commercial boilers in municipal areas do with their water?

Sewer system, storm drain, other?

I know for a fact the two bars closest to my house that boil in their rigs big enough for about 10 sacks a pop just open the valves when done and down the storm drain it goes.

Then they hose the pots out to wash any residue and let that go down the drain too, followed by letting the hose run for several minutes to push the waste water farther down the drain to not stink up the place.
