If you have perlite in your soil, DO NOT just dump it out back. This can be extremely incriminating. I've heard of folks dumping their used soil into a compost pile under their back porch, which, without the perlite, would just look like a big pile of soil. The grower I'm referring to was somehow brought the suspicion of the DEA, who only needed to see his mound of used soil to have probable cause to get a warrant...and a subsequent arrest.

When I'm done with my soil, I try to remove as much of the root mass as possible and dump just it in a compost heap. I always leave the soil in a dark trashbag and take it to an open dumpster, where I just rip a hole in the bag and pour the soil out. Probably being overly cautious keeping the bag, but you can never be too careful.
