Abstract
One of the services that the Science Education Unit at the University of Cape Town offers to local schools is the disposal of old laboratory chemicals. Upon receiving a cannister half-filled with liquid sulfur dioxide and having a heavily corroded and jammed metal tap, the SEU was faced with the dilemma of practically needing to dispose of a bomb. This article recounts the story of the disposal of the cannister's contents.
