How to dispose of CTC

[derekpara]

I've found a bottle labelled CTC in my garage. I think it's probably Carbon Tetrachloride, which I think is pretty nasty stuff. Any ideas how to get rid of it safely ?

Cheers.

4.7 Disposal
Small quantities of carbon tetrachloride may be disposed of by
evaporation in a fume cupboard or in a safe, open area. Incineration
is not recommended due to the non-flammability of carbon tetrachloride
and to the formation of phosgene, hydrogen chloride and other toxic
gases on heating.

Keep others away. Pour it out on a non-absorbent dry surface. Stay upwind. It will evaporate quickly.
