When cleaning trash cans, cat boxes, etc., where do you empty the detergent-filled containers?

I often pause before cleaning containers that are best cleaned outside because, frankly, I don't know where to put the backwash of detergent-filled water. I know environment-harming phosphates get into the streams, etc., when people pour this yucky stuff down storm drains or just let it seep into the water table. Still, I don't know where to put the stuff. It's not practical to bring it in and flush it in the toilet. Where do others dispose of this stuff?? I never took home ec so I learn as I go along ... :-{

1. Pour it in your neighbors yard....
2. You are using the same soap that you put down the sink or washer so it can be flushed if it has nothing solid in it, If it does, I used to empty it in the alley around the trash can to help keep down the smell there.
