Hi Kevin,
If they cannot be repaired, or you do not wish to repair them, bury or burn them.
You can try to find a site that will repair rosaries if you wish to get them repaired.
The Sisters of Carmel Rosary Repair is no longer accepting Rosaries to repair.
- Maybe they know of an organization that can assist you in this area or
- you can ** google ** for an organization.

Hi guys,
Similar to what Eric said, I do one of two things:
- Try to find someone who does Rosary repairs, and, depending
on your current financial situation, I'd let them keep the Rosary
as the wage for their work, or
- If it is something beyond repair I
would destroy it beyond recognition.
You don't want to be overly paranoid
in doing so; nevertheless, you want to make the Rosary unrecognizable so a person, who may be on
the spiritual dark side and is against Christianity, could not use it for blasphemous
purposes. This also goes for other Church-related items a priest
or the Church has blessed, like:
- the Palms from Palm Sunday
- crucifixes
- statues of Jesus, Mary, Joseph or any of the saints
- medals of saints, or
- anything consider holy by the Church.
Finally, check with your local parish or diocese just to make sure they don't have a process in place for the disposing of blessed, religious items.
Hope this helps,
Mike

HI guys,
Thank-you for this information.
That's what I thought you should do but I just wanted to confirm it.
Some of them are just plastic so they are irreparable and these plastics
will be able to be burned.
Thanks again,
Kevin
