How to dispose of sulphuric acid?
Discussion
I purchased a new battery for my jetski and it was the kind where you have to fill the cells yourself.
There is some left, not a huge amount, but I am pretty sure I shouldn't be putting it out with the rubbush. I have read that its good as a drain unblocker, so is it ok to pour it into my gardens manhole drain and flush it down with water?
If not, what would you suggest is the best way to get rid of it?

I use one shot drain cleaner at work that's 91% sulphuric acid and clears blocked wastes a treat so I'd just wash it down the sink but be warned use a funnel and don't get it On any metal work as it will go black
Metal work as in the sink / drain components?You'd be better off just pouring it down a street drain....... in the hours of darkness, of course!

Definitely don't do this, some street drains go direct into a river. This kind of thing is exactly what gets effective forms of chemicals banned for domestic use, inconsiderate use. You'd be better off just pouring it down a street drain....... in the hours of darkness, of course!
