What do you do with the muck?

I've pressure washed my neighbour's and my sister-in-law's driveways. Both of them block paved.
At the end, there's loads of dirty sand and bits of moss etc that comes out from between the blocks.
I used the jet as a broom and swept it all either into little piles to get up with a shovel. Some of it at my sister-in-law's could just be swept onto the garden.
What do you professional guys do with it?
PS I fitted a 1504 nozzle to the pressure washer (2000 psi/10 lpm) and it's MUCH better than the 1505. The pressure is better and it just rips the moss out from between the blocks. It still leaves the weeds though. Would a turbo nozzle do a better job on the weeds?

Bin it on site if suitable bin available or bag it and take it away.

In theory you need a waste carriers licience to remove waste from a customer - even a bucket of pudding. Yes a turbo will help big time but even that needs to be the correct size

Why dont you get a wet/dry vacuum like a neumatic and you could get most of it in the vac and take away

Why add to the equipment carried, its electrical and only takes the place of a bucket, small shovel and hand brush. I use a bucket with several rows of holes to sieve the water so you only end up with the solids. The buckets go into a screen and are recycled into the top soil
