Do you keep a bucket at the sink to collect grey water?

In this case a residence. Until recently we had our own waste treatment (septic system), but now our village has a state of the art sewer system. Our city water and city sewer districts overlap, but are not identical. Because of this the sewer district decided to use a fixed fee, so from a personal financial standpoint volume makes no difference for the sewer. Our water costs are negligible, but the sewer fee is fairly outrageous. It makes me want to run as much as possible down the sewer simply out of spite.
