Honorable Discharge

In my office are two brittle, broken Bibles. Their bindings are busted and their pages falling out. The congregation purchased new Bibles for the pews and donated the older ones; these two weren't fit to be donated. So, how does one honorably discharge a Bible?

If the proper way to dipose of a flag is burning, and if burning is an acceptable way to dispose of left over Host after Communion would that be the right thing to do with a Bible? That just seems like you would do to papal bulls and books you don't like though. The Jews would bury the worn out scrolls in tombs.
