You could add a resistor of a mega ohm or so across the caps. This will discharge them after about an hour and not waste enough energy to worry about during normal operation. That's how CRT monitors and pre-LED camera flashes protected repairmen from shocks.

If you want fast discharge that doesn't waste power turn the unit off and on with an SPDT switch like pic related. The "off" position can be used to connect the caps to a discharge resistor.
