Default Disposing of old polyester resin

I've got some dribs and drabs of polyester resin in the bottom of some pails
and cans that I'd like to safely dispose of. Some of it has crystalized and
I also made the mistake of dumping some left-over resin from one distributer
into the container of another creating a weird jelly like substance that
refuses to cure in any fashion.

Should I just drip in some MEKP into the containers, or is there a better
way?

I would mix up a cup of fresh poly resin and pour into the bucket, mix
it all together as well as possible, making a solid (as much as
possible), then dispose of normally.
