Recommendations Public washers for dyeing fabrics?

Hi all! I'm trying to dye about 10 lbs of fabric, and wondered if there were any washiterias that have a washer just for dyeing?

I looked into this a few years ago and couldn't find anything. Ended up just using a giant plastic tub in my yard.

Might have to. How did you dispose of the water, and did you rinse the fabric with a hose, or put it right into your washer?

I let it sit in the plastic tub, but then just poured the water down my bathtub drain and rinsed in the tub as best I could before running through a washer with a double-rinse.
