I went thru the same learning curve using a cranberry 1 gallon jug with a simple slightly oversized hole drilled into the lid.
I've modified it by using a barbed type fitting similar to a bulkhead fitting. Also drilled one into the top of the waste as a safety. Once the jug over fills, the waste cup will start to fill until it reaches the safety. Mine just flows back into the sump.
Much better option then coming home to a flooded basement !
If anyone is interested, I can post photos.
