How do you retire a worn or tattered flag properly?
You are suppose to burn it. Please do it outside, not in your home. The below is from the post 369 Columbus Ohio Troop. When the United States flag (Old Glory) becomes worn, torn, faded or badly soiled, it is time to replace it with a new flag, and the old flag should be "retired" with all the dignity and respect befitting our nation's flag. The traditional method of retirement is to incinerate the flag. Cotton flags should be burned in a solemn ceremony. Flags made from petroleum-based materials should be recycled; burning them creates air pollution. Contact local VFW for proper disposal of all flags.

"The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."

The United States Flag Code was originally passed by Congress in 1923 and dictates the proper methods for destroying an American flag, including burning and flag disposal ceremonies.
