Brine disposal

[Dave/G]

How do you safely dispose of a brine solution? Is pouring it in a kitchen sink drain, being careful not to splatter, and following up with some boiling water in and around the sink a common practice? I guess you can tell that I've not been a brine person. I have to satisfy myself as to the differences between brining and not. Thanks for tips

Pour it down the sink or toilet. Anytime I rinse poultry or dispose of brine I go over the area with bleach and rinse with warm water.

I poured in sink, rinse with hot water, scrub sink with Ajax (anti-bacterial) and give the drain a shot of bleach.

Toilet, flush and I'm done.

I brined my turkey inside a garbage bag inside a 5 gallon bucket. I just threw away the bag full of the brine.

Related somewhat. When I used to brine salmon I reused the brine for another batch by saving it in the refrigerator (per instructions from Little Chief smokers).

I'm assuming the same can be done for the turkey brine. It may not sound that good. But the question of food safety as long as it's kept refrigereated I assume to be safe? If anyone has a defineate answer, I welcome comments.

J,
Based on this, sounds yucky.
