Not silly at all. I keep a 2L bottle in the ER for that purpose. When full (takes a while) I return the contents to the earth , from whence they came. The drainage is initially collected in a white cardboard type disposable coffee cup, so I can see what I drained, then poured into the 2L bottle. Hold the bottle to the light and check for water.
