Abstract
A system for managing liquid waste includes a first liquid container that receives waste liquid, a liquid transfer pump fluidly connected to the first liquid container; and a second liquid container fluidly connectable to the liquid transfer pump. The liquid transfer pump is can be selectively activated to transfer liquid waste from the first liquid container to the second liquid container when the second liquid container is fluidly connected to the liquid transfer pump. A method for managing liquid waste includes the steps of receiving waste liquid into a first liquid container, monitoring the amount of liquid in the first container, connecting a second liquid container to a liquid transfer pump that is connected to the first liquid container, after the amount of liquid received into the first liquid container reaches a predefined level, transferring liquid from the first liquid container into the second liquid container with the liquid transfer pump, and removing liquid transferred to the second liquid container.
