Allowing the liquid effluent to drain to an overflow  cesspool  or leaching pool. Where it drains into the sand at the bottom. Bacteria then helps breakdown those solids by digesting them and aiding in taking some burden off of routine maintenance.  Septic systems  need maintenance and can't be circumvented.

There are metal hoods that cover the outflow pipes. This keeps most foreign material in the catch basin . Now some older catch basins dont have hoods on the pipes going to other drainage structures which allow floatables to escape the catch basin and infiltrate other structures such as dry wells, inverts, head walls, sewer systems.  Catch Basins  can flow directly to a sump, brook, creek, river, lake, bay, and sometimes right to the ocean.
