Storing Starter Discard?

With no luck I have been trying to find out if I can store a starter discard either at room temperature or in the refrigerator? I don't want to throw it out and I don't have time to bake during the week, any ideas?

 

 

Thanks!

Here is an idea. I would preserve some by drying it out just in case some time in the future your mother starter goes bad or to give away to friends and family. This is what I did with some of mine.
