That is completely wrong. Firstly, most general rubbish is sent to
landfill in the UK; secondly, general incinerators are not positively
the wrong solution if it DID have a disease justifying incineration;
thirdly, the chances of that are infinitesimal; fourthly, rat poisons
are biodegradable.

I would just chuck it on the compost heap. Alternatively, burying it
6" down will leave nothing except a few bones within a very short time.
It would be disapproved of to put it in the green bin, but there is no
good scientific reason to forbid it. Or just chuck it into a hedge
somewhere.
