I just use a little Simple Green on a clean rag to wipe out the wash tub,
done in less than a minute

"Duh - that's what commercial laundromats are for."

Rick, Do you really mean you grease up public laundromats? Tell us, which one(s)?

Just curious what are people doing out there tto lessen the impact on the waste in their home shop? Garbage, sludge, chemicals etc.

Specifically, I'm wondering what people are doing with greasy rags.

I actually do wash my rags in my home washer.

I do wipe the washer down after, but it works fine.

Lot's of soap and hot water.

sort of related, I collect shop rags, those pink ones. I don't buy them, but have a personally policy of picking them up when found and bringing them home to use, I've found them while out riding, and hung them on my bars or cable housing for the rest of the ride.

Do any of the bicycle shops in town use a rag laundry service? I have known shops to use the same type of a service like a diaper laundry service. If your shop does, then ask them if you can piggy back off of their service for a fee. Your loved ones will be much happier because those mysterious spots will no long show up on your new clothes after washing them.

You might want to wipe down the washer really well afterwards as it can leave a bit of a ring :)
