Ok so how do you dispose of the carbon for power filters..or maybe any filters? I am still learning about filtration so excuse me for the maybe irrelavant information..but i got a Emperor 400 power filter..and i am trying to figute out if it is ok to dispose of it into the garbage or is there something special you do to it..lol. anyways im also gonna ask if you fill some of the gray cartridges up or all of them..like there are dividers and idk if it really is supposed to be filled all the way..
 
As long as it has not absorbed medicines it is harmless and can be thrown out, dumped in a garden, burned and I assume can be put with compost too.
 
garbage. carbon isnt worth the space it takes up in a filter. Unless u need it to remove medicines

+!. If you have any new stuff left, throw that out else as well. Garbage can works fine.
