  If not recycling, the best would be to just bury it (in a way that won't pollute the water table).

    Burning is the best outcome actually, burrying means it’s going to leech out

      Obviously they mean bury it in some sort of water-tight container like plastic.

    Nah, it would still collect water and pollute, better to burn it at high temps
