Of course the ideal is to keep the label from coming off in the first place, and good ideas have been shared for that. But what do you do with the unlabeled and now unidentified chemicals? My understanding is, they should be sampled and analyzed, and that would be a tedious and expensive proposition, and those kinds of costs are not easily absorbed in your resource setting. Transporting to a disposal site and subsequent disposition is difficult at best, and potentially dangerous, if you don't know what you are working with. Best of luck!
