Does your community have some sort of hazardous materials disposal arrangement,
like someplace you can take it and drop it off to be properly disposed of?
Or - do you know any shops that might want it? We used to keep dry batteries
in storage and add acid as we needed them.

however baking soda in the right proportion will render the PH to neutral.

Snake oil, no need for it. You'd be better off adding some bio-diesel to

Mist it on, scrub, hose off with lots of water so it dilutes.
