I copied this article below.-removing slurry is an service to be billed for.
You can use pillow cases ,cotton sheets ,filter material to strain off the mud.
You can also call a waste service like clean earth and they will sign off on the slurry.
It will cost but you bill back to the customer with a premium for your time.
"The use of woven or nonwoven filter material may also be used to line holding containers. This will allow for the majority of particulate to be contained and allow the water to filter through by means of gravitation. The clear water by any means can be recycled and used in your operation or disposed of on the ground or in a sanitary sewer drain. The particulate will then have to be disposed of separately. Gravitational methods leave the slurry very wet, like drywall mud. If left over time it will continue to dry out. The use of a product that will solidify the slurry can be used to turn it into a gelatin-like material for easy transportation and disposal.
If the slurry is considered hazardous only because it has a high pH, the slurry can be treated with an acid-based solution to bring it within acceptable levels. If the slurry is considered hazardous for other reasons, the particulate and water must all be disposed of so that it does not affect the environment. This may require the use of totally enclosed poly tanks or vacuum boxes, sealable 55-gallon drums or large lined dumpster filled a portion of the way to allow for transportation and removed off sight. Vacuum truck services may also be used to vacuum hazardous slurry out of holding containers and remove it from the site. Slurry solidification products are another option that can be used to absorb the water within the slurry turning it into a gelatin material that will pass EPA required testing to allow for its disposal in a regular landfill."
