It is not permissible to discard papers containing verses, hadiths, or the names of Allah in a place where they might be disrespected. Rather, they must be preserved or disposed of by burying, burning, or shredding with a machine that leaves no trace of the words and letters, out of reverence for the sacred things of Allah. And whoever sees them in a defiled place and does not remove them, he departs from the fold of Islam.
