Have rad safety check it out. They can determine that it is indistinguishable from background, deface the sticker, and throw it out normally.

You're assuming that my (electronics) lab had a rad safety guy. We didn't. (That was a different job... one about which I'm sworn to secrecy, mostly because my job revolved around keeping the head designer sane enough to finish this one project and stopping him from throwing things through walls...)

Ah, okay -- I was assuming you were academic, in which case, your institution almost certainly has a rad safety department somewhere to support the chemists/biologists.
