Check with your local sewer department. Around here they recommend that it be flushed down a stool. Apparently the "bugs" in the sewer treatment plant system love the stuff. If you are on a septic system some of the sales and service people may know.

My goes in the commode. I figure there are plenty of leaks from roads and parking lots that make it there anyway.
