Ask your teacher to neutralize the acids and bases before disposal.

Explanation

Dispose of pH paper in the trash, and the cabbage indicator solution can be poured down the drain.

Therefore, the safe methods are disposing of the pH paper in the trash, draining the indicator solution, and having the teacher neutralize the acids and bases.
