Blech! I can get pretty nostalgic for a lot of things, but not the smell of photographic chemicals. I really did love watching an image come up, though. Don't recall what I did with my waste, I only had a home darkroom for a while - I think it went to the hazardous waste depot along with old paint, solvents, and the like.
