Bottle of sulphuric acid worries me!

Hello,
I am tidying and found unopened box containing unopened bottle of sulphuric acid. Box feels heavy so assume in glass bottle.
Been in kitchen for years on a shelf. Put in bottom shelf now at back of a cupboard. Supposed to be one shot drain cleaner. Concerns me having it.
Obviously dangerous if opened but is it safe to keep unopened? Want rid really...
Asking Mumsnet before asking my handyman type neighbour... Who may laugh at me!

Find a public bin and get rid of it.

Jeez, definitely don't mix it with anything else did people not do chemistry at school! I'd see if there is somewhere you can take it to recycle. I'd avoid pouring it down the drain too.

Don't so this, this is terrible advice and potentially dangerous. Shame on you @GeorgianaM

Yep serious chemical burns 🙄
Just what the poor sod whos job it is to empty the bin needs to deal with on a random workday.
