    I’m not sure what you’re trying to do. Do you have slow or clogged drains that you’re trying to fix? Or are you just trying to dispose of them?

    If you have a drain problem, I think drain cleaner is supposed to be safe for modern pipes. But if you have old cast iron drains, it can eat through them.

    If you’re trying to dispose of them, look up how your town wants you to dispose of hazardous waste. Some places will have a specific place and time you can drop off hazardous chemicals like drain cleaner.

    (If you’re trying to dispose of it and don’t have access to hazardous waste removal, it is possible to neutralize the drain cleaner and safely dispose of it. But if you’re asking these sorts of questions, you aren’t qualified to do that. For anyone who might be qualified, don’t forget your PPE 😅)
