Can anyone help me and give mean idea how to dispose copper nitrate?

How much do you have? Is it solid or in solution? Usually it is kept for chemical waste collection.

Copper compounds should not go down the sink. I put my copper waste in ice cream containers to evaporate. When the water is gone, I scrape the residue into a bin. Or you could save it for collection.
