There's about 3/4 of it still left. How do i properly dispose of it? Please don't tell me to dump the entire thing down the drain.

The thing is, the chemical has been around so long that it's actually eating through the plastic container. Temporarily, i'm leaving it in this glass container, even so, i don't want it around because you never know, no matter how many precautions you take, kids might get to it. Perhaps i'll take some of your suggestions and offer it to my neighbors. I'm definitley not pouring all of it down the drain because the smell would be too overwhelming (even if i flushed the pipes with hot water for 20 mins). I'm not even going to try to do a little here and little there around the house because again the smell would be to overwhelming for me.

I am sorry I do not have the exact answer, but I do know of locations you can contact that would more than likely have the answer for you.
Most often, if you take it to your local dump yard, they will also know the proper method for disposal, and give you instructions.
Drain-O is a hazardous material and should be disposed of properly as such. I wouldn't suggestion pouring the rest of it down the drain. That kind of chemical agent on clear, open drains, could cause damage to the piping.

I'm not sure why you want to get rid of it, so if saving it is not an option for use later then (are you trying not to waste it) you could share it or if it's just a matter of getting rid of it you could dump it in the toilet or in the sewer clean out in front of house. Really need more information to answer you accurately

Why don`t you save it for another plumbing problem. I would put it down in my sinks, toilets bathtubs and showers and flush everything with hot water down the pipes!

Why don't you check to see if your friends or neighbors may need their drains freshened? It is a shame to just waste it.

run the water, dump it down the drain. That is what it is designed for.
