If they're filled with calcium chloride, yes it's corrosive, but only when in contact with air.
In good tubes, no problem. With the right equipment and somebody who knows what they're doing, tubeless tires can be filled with CaCl so that it completely covers the inside of the rim -- again, no problem with a good bead and proper inflation to keep any surface in contact with the CaCl from coming into contact with air.
If you do decide to drain, make sure that a through job of cleaning is done on the outside to clean up ANY that slopped onto metal. If tubeless, dismount the tire and clean the inside, as well.
To many folks, it's worth the price of having a dealer come out and take care of it. Unless you have a dirt driveway where you want either to a) kill the grass and weeds coming up in it or b) dampen the dust, there's no real good way to dispose of the stuff without killing all the vegetation around it.
