I did look up your question and found this;
Options for retiring flags made of synthetics limited - News - The Daily News - Jacksonville, NC.
And this I never knew;
"How do you dispose of small American flags?
Cut the flag in half, vertically — do not cut into the blue star field. Place the two halves together and cut in half, horizontally. You will have four pieces of flag, one being the blue star field and the other three red and white stripes. Put the flag in a container and dispose of it properly."Sep 8, 2014
I still think it's more proper to burn them though.

Thank you for this info. Simple, respectful. safe and practical. I, and I am sure others, will follow this practice.
Stay safe. Stay well. Peace!
