I have heard many times that when something used for or somehow related to a mitzvah cannot or will not be used again, it should be thrown out "respectfully".
- What exactly constitutes throwing out something respectfully and is it different depending on what is being thrown out?
- Should something that is not technically a tashmish kedusha/ tashmish mitzva/ tashmish d'tashmish but is other wise associated with a mitzvah be thrown out respectfully?
(I am asking this because my tefilin bag* was worn out so I bought a new one to replace it. If you could include what I should do with that specifically in your answer it would be appreciated.)
*The plastic bag, not the cloth one.

Mitzvah Objects:
Objects in this category must be disposed of in a respectable manner; e.g. double wrapped in paper or plastic before being put in the garbage.
Included in this category are such things as:
The garments of a tallit or tzitzit (after the fringes have been removed for burial), tallit bags, the Four Species, willows used for hoshanot, schach (foliage covering for a sukkah), and a gartel (prayer sash).
