What can I do with old sacramentals?

[johnben]

I have some old sacramentals I want to get rid of for various reasons. My rosary broke and I also have an eroding scapular. Also, I have some holy cards that have not been blessed so I wonder if I can just throw them away or what. Now I have new sacramentals too so I don’t need the old ones anymore. Could I have a little advice?

Donate them, call a convent and they will take them off your hands. Missionary ministries, prison ministries, they all can use these items. They will use, repair, distrubute or properly dispose of the items.

If they are worn out, you can burn them and bury the ashes.

If they need repair, there are many people who repair sacramentals, such as rosaries and statues; so look for them.

If they are in good condition, give them away to someone who would appreciate them.

Thankyou both!
