The most direct method would be to neutralize the sulfuric acid with DILUTE sodium hydroxide, which you can probably obtain from a hardware store or industrial chemical supplier under the common name, “caustic soda”. This should be diluted carefully with water because the heat of dilution is substantial. Add the diluted sodium hydroxide slowly to the dilute acid until the endpoint is reached using litmus paper. The reaction product is aqueous sodium sulfate, which can be safely discarded into the sewer/septic system.

seriously…i could use the sulfuric acid if you’re looking to get rid of it. It works great for cleaning stainless steel. ---

I think having sulfuric acid in your house like that is the gateway chemical to a meth lab. ---

It is a mixture of sodium hydroxide and aluminum flakes. When diluted hydrogen is evolved, which is potentially explosive. ---
