If you are having a tire company change a tire or tube for you, they will probably be willing to take the tire fluid they remove from your tires with them. Then they will sell it to someone else who wants loaded tires.
On the other hand, if you are doing the work yourself, might I suggest not doing it inside a building. If you spill CaCl solution on concrete, it is fairly hard to remove. If you don't get it all, the remaining salt will draw moisture from the air and that spot will be incredibly slick to walk on. You also want to clean up your tools with lots of water, since the CaCl is very corrosive and will cause rust within a few days if you don't clean them.
CaCl will kill most plants if the solution gets on the plants or it spills on the ground under them. If you have any bad weed patches, you might consider pouring the CaCl there. It will kill anything I ever tried it on, and nothing will grow there for a while (as Old wrote, how long this lasts depends on how much precipitation you get).
You also want to avoid getting the CaCl solution on your hands, as it will dry them out and maybe even cause the skin to crack. It also really hurts if you get it in a cut. I have no personal experience with getting CaCl in my eyes, but I can imagine how bad that might hurt.
CaCl is used in some places to help with dust control, since it will draw moisture out of the air and that water will settle dust in a gravel road. But I don't think there would be enough in a couple of tractor tires to make much difference on a dusty gravel road. It would be another way of getting rid of the solution though. Good luck!
