OT - Disposal of an American Flag

I figure I'd ask the experts here on the forum how to properly dispose of an American Flag. I have an old flag that is no longer good enough to fly. Upon reading the flag etiquette I am supposed to contact my local government or American Legion for disposal. Those outfits dont seem to know whats up so I am down to burning the old flag.

So am I supposed to light it on fire like the muslims do on tv and yell Praise be to Allah or would putting it in a metal bucket and burning it be ok?

Or is there another way in which I am supposed to burn the flag for disposal?

I live in the middle of town so I probably should keep this process as small as possible.
