I'm thinking of cutting off my ponytail that I've been growing for over 4 years and i was wondering if i should keep it as a memento of how long my hair was, and how to preserve it somehow. I think hair doesnt degrade easily but still after a while it should. So is there somewhere i can take it to get washed with chemicals or something so that it wont degrade and wont host any germs and microrganisms?

Just put it into a container and don't let anyone touch it. Also don't just open and close the container.

That should work.

First, before cutting you must make sure that the ponytail will be held together by some device. Otherwise it will become a mess. You need something to keep the ponytail together at one end.

I actually believe that a non sealed container would be a better choice. A sealed container might induce the appearance of fungus on the hair. Just leave it in a cool and dry place. You can wash it regularly with mild neutral shampoo dilluted in water (just shake the hair in the water delicately). Do not use conditioner.

Note: I am just telling you information that I read somewhere about how to keep wigs. I think your ponytail is like a wig.
