Explanation:

Safe disposal of waste means disposal of waste in such a way that it does not pose a threat to the environment.

When pH paper is properly disposed in the trash, it does not constitute any risk to the environment.

When a cabbage indicator solution is disposed down the drain it does not contaminate the environment. It moves directly into the sewers and is properly disposed.

When acids and bases are properly neutralized before disposal, they don't lead to acid or base contamination of the environment.
