System and method for managing liquid waste

A system for managing liquid waste, the system comprising:

• a first liquid container configured to receive a liquid from a liquid source;
• a liquid transfer pump fluidly connected to the first liquid container;
• a second liquid container fluidly connected to the liquid transfer pump, wherein the liquid transfer pump is configured to be selectively activated to transfer liquid from the first liquid container to the second liquid container;
• a connector fitting for fluidly connecting the second liquid container to the liquid transfer pump, wherein the connector fitting comprises a female connector member and a male connector member received within the female connector member;
• a drip management system configured to draw liquid from the connector fitting into the first liquid container, wherein the drip management system comprises a connection port in communication with the female connector member, a fluid conduit connecting the connection port to the first liquid container, and a drip control valve, wherein the drip control valve is configured to permit fluid flow through the fluid conduit when the drip control valve is in an open configuration and to prevent fluid flow through the fluid conduit when the drip control valve is in a closed configuration;
• and
• a vacuum pump to which the first liquid container is connected to draw liquid into the first liquid container from the liquid source and to draw liquid into the first liquid container from the connector fitting when the drip control valve is in the open configuration.
