The hazardous household chemicals approach is probably best.

But if you're using a biodegradable solvent, it's probably not so terrible to just dump it down the sink. Think about how many basements and workshops have floor drains that drain into the same shared drainage system as the sink. If the stuff that goes down those things on a routine basis isn't a huge deal, the little bit that comes from your drivetrain just isn't going to be that significant.

And you shouldn't pour it into a storm sewer if you're at all concerned about negative environmental impact. That stuff often drains to the nearest body of water so you'll be dumping straight into the environment.
