Best Answer

The only possible way is to put it into special container and hand it over to specialists who have special equipment to incinerate it. These people deal with destroying also other harmful substances..

Other ways (burning, pouring into waste, and even letting it evaporate into atmosphere) are PROHIBITED by law and pose a serious threat to ecology and nature. Really!

Chloroform is one of the halogenated hydrocarbon and immiscible with water, thus extremely dangerous and harmful if wasted in standard way
