What is a respectful way to dispose of a worn out Holy Book?

I had this very same problem with my last King James! It was all falling apart and held together with elastic bands which I wrapped  around it to keep it all together. I could nor bring myself to throw it out even after a I Got a brand new, red letter edition of a King James so I placed it in a cupboard and waited for for what I didn't know. One day when we were packing to return to our country I was taking out all the rubbish we didn't want to ship back home and I saw the security guard reading his little pocket Bible (this was in Papua New Guinea) I went back into the house and took down the old King James and took it out to him and asked him if he wanted it. He took it straight away and to him, it was a precious gift. Only the Lord would have known that it would be required by some one years later. Just keep your old Bible and the Lord will give you proper disposal instructions in time

Several places to contact.  The funeral home may have a suggestion.\n\nI know of several churches that have had grave sites left to them going unused.\n\nCremation is much cheaper.  It doesn't require an expensive casket, and brings an equality to funerals that is not matched by burials.

If there's mildew in the book, you'll first need to gently vacuum each page, using the brush attachment. And if the pages are damp, dry them thoroughly, even outdoors, if possible, but not in direct sunlight. Then, to absorb odors, sprinkle each page with baking soda or cornstarch, and place the book in a plastic bag for a week or two. When you remove it, turn it upside down and ruffle the pages to shake out the excess powder.

Good will, community living, Salvation Army.  Generally any charity that runs a thrift shop will happily take a old but working printer off your hands.

Right mouse click on it, and choose delete...it will be sent to recycle bin.

A good idea is perhaps reporting it to a local museum. It's not a moveable artifact, of course, but they usually have old records and information and may want pictures or whatnot.

call your local waste authority to see where you can take idems like that.  There are usually several businesses around that will take older hardware and make it new for other people in need to use.  It was very nice to think about something like that. :D

Well before you recycle it maybe you should try to get someone to (re)use it. Start with eBay then if you don't get any bids, maybe you should give it to a local charity.

accept items of interest for resale. sort of a thrift store operation. there is nothing like getting something for your donation. you might can get a location donated.

The books, I would sell .\nThe library may censor your books or just thank you and when you leave - just throw them away.\nIt is better that they go where they are wanted.\nNow about the Tarot readings ,People at Flea Markets are basically cheap ,You will have to barter the price also .\nGood luck

Pick it up and discreetly dispose of it at your next opportunity.

You might check the city or county of issue's Historical Society. They might like to have it displayed in a museum. They can give its approximate value, and you can donate it for tax deduction or simply let them "borrow" it for a designated period of time. And you can always try e-bay.

If you can find a "Half Price Books" store they will tell you. Try their web site and use e-mail if you don't have a recycled books store near you. Also, go to Barnes and Noble web site and see if they are listed in the "out of print sections."
