How to disarm and correctly dispose of tear gas spray? I have a can of spray for self-protection which has expired way back in 2008. It hasn't been used at all, and it doesn't seem a good idea to just throw it away without disabling it somehow first. I'm looking for ways to disarm it with minimum risk to myself and others. Obviously, I can just spray it away, but I'd rather not if I can avoid it.

The active ingredient is 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile. 

It's not water-soluble, but I was thinking of some combination of cooking oil and alkaline agent (baking soda, for example) to neutralize it. I'm still doing research on it, and I won't be doing anything rash just yet :-)

Any particular advice how to neutralize this spray?

If jurisdiction is somehow important, assume European Union.
Do not open, do not try to neutralize it yourself! Bring it to Recycling center (DE: Wertstoffhof). If your city is 100k+ there should be one. That's the place where you bringing your old furniture, the rubbish after renovations, and so on. They have a part for disposal of hazardous waste (DE: Sondermüll). What usually comes in there are paints, old car batteries, old pesticides, etc.... Another possibility - if you have some friend at chemistry school of some local university, give it him. Each Chemistry faculty has some "disposal" facility.
