The best way is to mix it with Hydrogen Chloride (HCl). This acid will react with Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), which is a base, and the end product will be water (H2O) and table salt (NaCl). This end product can be disposed of in a normal sink. You should flush it down with lots of water, in case you did not get the NaOH/HCl mixture precisely correct; it would then be a very weak acid or base.

You have to calculate how much HCl you need to match your quantity of NaOH. This is a standar Chemistry 101 calculation, so ask a high school student if you don't know how to crunch the numbers your self.

You can obtain cheap, fairly high concentration HCl from a brick and mortar store, as HCl is used to surface treat cement.
