Diluted and neutralized acid is not a big deal. As someone said, dispose of it 
like you would an old bottle of Coke. It is more benign than that, and not much 
dirty than your wash water after washing your shop clothes.

My home drain goes to my home septic field, which is basically an array of 
perforated pipes under my lawn.  I don't think I wish to subject my septic 
system to this.  I would sooner dig a hole in the woods and pour it 
in.  Either way, it's just dumping it into the ground.
