Properly & respectfully. I get this idea of burning it or burying it but that does not seem appropriate for a flag that has some plastics in it.

Give it somebody else if it's still in decent shape. Or throw it in the garbage. Are you worried it'll haunt you if you don't exercise the demons first?

edit: exorcise

Drop cloth for painting or changing your oil. The patriotic thing to do is make the most of the resources you're given, and reduce needless trash.

That's right, keep America beautiful, do your part to conserve.

Go to a grave yard or funeral home. Drape it over random coffin. Now it's someone else's problem.

THAT'S the Murican way!

My Chamber of Commerce takes flags for disposal. Or a Veteran's lodge, Boy Scout troop, etc.

I wonder if the people who dispose of their flags by burning even check if it's synthetic and likely giving off toxic fumes when lit up... My guess is no.

Good luck to OP. Anyone goes through your trash and finds it and it's going viral...

I'm not putting it in the trash, why would you think this?
