Disposing of Divrei Torah - Newspapers
Question
May one place used newspapers with Torah articles in a recycle bin?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
One should take out the pages with the divrei Torah and place them in a geniza box.
The rest of the newspaper may be thrown out, or even better, put to recycle.
