Thanks Wheatfield for you thoughts and input.
When I had my own darkroom (built especially for me) before I lived here, I didn't worry about silver problems because of where I lived. And I used T-Max developer, with Kodak Rapid fixer and photo flo.
I do not intend to shoot portraits (been there done that, didn't like it), now I shoot nature and get no arguements from my subjects.
I was afraid dishwashing liquids could be more harmful than chemicals made for this. Some of them have some harsh ingredients in them. Perhaps something more simple than Dawn.
I do not have a darkroom now, but I have a changing bag and daylight tanks. If I decide to do this more than a few rolls a month, I might build a new room for this project.
As for getting rid of the silver, I could just dump the chems in a paint can marked accordingly, and have it go out with our hazardous waste pickup.
