What is the method for disposing of Islamic papers that contain Quranic verses or the word "Allah" written in English?

The papers can be utilized by gifting them to those who can benefit from them or by placing them in specialized libraries. If that is not possible or if they are not suitable, they can be destroyed by burning or shredding, in a way that eliminates the Quranic verses and the majestic لفظ الجلالة (the word "Allah"), or by burying them.
