Throwing it out would be the easiest way to be rid of it.
Since they are so different though...
If it were eight pounds worth I would want to screen it.
Apparently I mixed some powder. I am a firm believer of only having one type of powder on the bench while reloading. I truly do not know how this happened.
This is where my tiny bench (23" wide") comes in handy.
Once the press is mounted, the brass in a bin, the projectiles ready, the caliper handy, etc, well, there's no room left for 2 jugs/bottles of powder.
I too mark the powder on the hopper. My procedure is to only work from 1# containers (factory labeled), refilled from the 8's. That limits any mix ups to 1#, powder is never put back in an 8. Each 1# has an additional tape label that is removed and placed on the hopper and the 1# remains on the bench as long as there is powder in the hopper. At the end of the session, unused powder is returned to the 1# after verifying the labels. However, the tape label remains on the hopper to tell me what was last used in it. The 1# goes back on the shelf. At the next session, I can see from the label on the hopper what was last in it. If I'm going to be using a different powder the hopper gets a good cleaning with compressed air and the tape label goes back to its original 1# bottle.
Dispose in the yard instead of the trash bin.
