Potassium perchlorate and potassium chlorate are NOT the same. Potassium chlorate is used in some matches and to prepare oxygen in the laboratory.What you have is KClO4.
If you heat potassium perchlorate with sulfuric acid under reduced pressure, you get percloric acid which EXPLODES above 92C. I hope you call a hazardous waste company so they can dispose of it properly. Good Luck!
