Disposal of a Kippah

Question

Does a Kippah require Genizah (ritual burial)?

Answer

Shalom!
A Kippah does not require Genizah. However, since it has been used for a mitzvah (religious duty), it should be discarded respectfully. It is recommended to wrap it in a plastic bag and throw it in regular trash.
