How do I properly dispose of Switzerlands flag. Our parent company is Swiss and the flag is not servicable?

Question

Switzerland'sserviceable

Answer 1

I'm not sure about Swiss flags, but the American flag has a whole body of protocol and federal statutes associated with its raising, displaying, lowering, folding, presentation and participation in various events such as funerals. When a flag is damaged, it must be disposed of according to the statutory requirements set out in Title 4, United States Code, section 8(k).

Determine a "dignified way" to dispose of the flag. The statute states the irreparably damaged flag "should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning." However, you may not have the facilities to safely dispose of the flag by burning. If you don't, come up with something else that is dignified and that will destroy the flag. The idea is to refrain from showing the flag disrespect, so shredding, wadding and throwing the remnants into the trash are not viable alternatives. Neither is burying, as this does not destroy the flag so no remnant is left behind.
