Default OT - drying rock salt

The church has a bucket about 2/3 full of rock salt, and

I'm not sure if it's calcium salt, or sodium salt.

Any ideas to drying this out, and make it usable again? Or
should I dump it in the trash dumpster, or something? List
it on Recycle?

Well, its not Sodium Chloride salt, or else it would have
totally dissolved in the water... Could be Calcium or
Magnesium...

Not worth even worth trying to "dry it out" as the water
will have reacted with it making it a block of worthless
white powder... Ice control chemicals are only effective
when they are able to make their intended chemical
reactions -- your ice melter being doused with water
has chemically altered it in a way to make it useless...
