I used to have a parts washer in my shop that used muriatic acid as one of its solvents and we had to pay a HAZMAT company to come and dispose of it.
I don't know about the work, I guess its what you feel your time is worth.
The acid water could be neutralized with common baking soda, a simple ph test would indicate a ph of 7 when you have added enough.
