Man, did I get excited and started to plot a reason to make it up there!!!! What I would do for a good, fresh Navajo Taco -- ummmmmm. Then I saw 'vegan' =:~(

Where I come from, which is really Chaco Canyon, we eat "vegans". I 'grewed-up' (sp) on the reservations (apache and mostly navajo) and we call vegetarian/vegans "Lousy Hunter"
Thanks to Chickie-dear we at least had a deer fix...... so very grateful (sending warm hugs)

You know it girl.

Well, it is an evil chemical, but not one that is hard to get rid of.

In the warnings, it says that if you expose it to water or oxygen, it can burn. (it is in methanol, which keeps air and water away from it, guess what? Methanol burns too.)

When you add water, the byproducts are NaOH and CO2 (carbon dioxide). Ever make soap? NaOH is lye and very caustic.

I would put the containers somewhere that won't burn and would not be affected by caustic water. Then I would open them and let them dry out. Then, I would rinse them out with water, then put in some vinegar and swirl that around. If the vinegar bubbles (produces CO2) wash them out with water again. At least the first time you do this, be at least 50' away when you turn the water on.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU INHALE WHAT COMES OUT OF THEM!!!

I hope that helps.

Edited to add: I looked a little more closely at the MSDS form. The pH of a 0.5% Aq. Solution is 14. That means that it needs about a 10^7 dilution factor to be neutral (less if vinegar or battery acid are used). How to say this. . . . This stuff is bad. How bad? If you get any on you, the fastest way to neutralize it would be to pour a bunch of battery acid on yourself.

Also, the reaction causes heat and you don't want to melt the container so, don't dribble the water in, give it all the water it wants to react with, and then a bunch more water to cool everything down.

So flood with water then rinse with vinegar and if vinegar bubbles flood with water again.....?

after it is thoughly rinsed and cleaned it should be fine for water/garden/fish... right?

Not sure what the journal is but I'm down in SoCal and would be happy to help out -

hey that may work great!
I was going to forward it to Cloverleaf Farms & she could send it south to you.
I have a cousin in San Diego I was considering...
The Journel is from a 5th grader in New York...his Mom came on our thread months ago & asked if anyone wanted to participate & we responded to her our names & addresses.
The journal involves entries from participants as far as where they live, age, and describe your area, history, commercial & ag businesses of your area...fun & famous things or people...and so far there is NO California entries !!
Towards June, the journal is mailed back to the classroom, where all the students can study what is in their journal.
Each person who writes in the journal mails a post card (of your area) back to the class so they can mark a map as to their journal's where abouts.
It is really awesome !

My nephew did one of those, only it was called "Flat Micheal". Each student was traced out on butcher paper, colored and mailed out. Michael traveled the world as I sent him to Australia after I got him. He had already been to Holland. Each person had to include a letter and a photo of them with "Flat Michael". We put him on a swingset in the backyard, took him hiking to see Snoqualmie Falls, and he tried to play Monopoly!
