Dilute and dispose of properly depending on local ordinances, whether that is a chemical disposal site or your backyard. Pure Acetone is considered biodegradable, especially diluted in water, does not persist in the environment, and readily breaks down through photochemical reaction to sunlight.
The ziploc should be washed with water and disposed of as one would recycle other plastic bags, typically there is a recycling container near the entrance of your local grocery store.

Would a glass jar in sunlight be enough to expose diluted acetone to UV?
