    While I'm certainly noot an expert on hazardous chems, I think that filling a ~30 gallon garbage bin with water, adding the acid and then enough soda ash (pH up or Super Washing soda to neutralize it) would be sufficient to allow you to just dump the bin on the driveway or lawn.

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries

    1 gallon of full-strength Muriatic Acid (31.45% Hydrochloric Acid) is neutralized by 8.4 pounds of pH Up / Soda Ash / Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda or by 16.6 pounds of 20 Mule Team Borax.
