How to Dispose of an American Flag

Weather conditions will take their toll on the Stars and Stripes. If you’re buying your first Valley Forge American flag or are replacing an old one, knowing how to dispose of your American flag is essential. Abide by the United States Flag Code to ensure you respectfully dispose of Old Glory.

• Burn your Star-Spangled Banner: A method used within the armed forces, retiring Old Glory with a burning ceremony is considered dignified. However, there are specific rules associated with this manner of disposal and easier options exist. Contact your local VFW to learn more about this retirement method. If your flag is made of nylon or polyester, burning is not encouraged.
• Bury Old Glory: Your correctly folded flag must be placed in a secure container to ensure it will not come in contact with the ground. Then, bury it a few feet in the ground. It is always customary to do so respectfully and ceremoniously.
• Shredding the Stars and Stripes: When shredding, the blue canton, or “Union”, of the flag must remain intact. This method is more of a preparation for other methods of disposal, like burning, burying or donating.  
• Donate a damaged American flag: An easy solution to retire your American flag is to donate it. You can set up your own disposal box to carefully store old flags until you can donate them, with organizations like the American Legion, your local VFW or the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts happy to help. Donation is a great way to respectfully dispose of your flag without running the risk of improperly retiring your Star-Spangled Banner.
