Answer 14

I would just flush it.  It's organic matter so it's not like flushing chemicals into the water system.  If you put it in the trash, it will just smell up the can plus it's not really adding back to the planet that way either.  And burying makes it susceptible to any animal that smells it and then could dig it up for a snack.
