Yes. Can burn. Need an approved controlled hazardous waste incinerator. Need a temperature of at least 1850°C ! There are facilities, search on EPA. But that's a huge amount of barrels down there. And still counting. And it is extremely deep. Best to leave it there, don't disturb, until a complete plan in place. Even then , complete burial is likely a valid solution . Unfortunately.
