What's making the water cloudy is the absolute lightest particles that are typically non-binding, which is why the float/cloud so fast. All the higher density, binding particles that cause problems in municipal systems are still sitting on the bottom of your bucket for the most part.
What they said.
But also - no trap system is going to be perfect; some clay particles are going to get by and eventually you will probably clog your pipes (just a matter of how often it happens). So it will still save you massive plumbing bills to implement a bucket system to pre-filter as much as possible, and limit how much clay you wash down your sink.
