What is the best way of disposing Lord Krishna's photo.
I have so many magazine/calendars/ pictures/frames etc. I don't understand how to dispose them.
I can give calendars/magazine to the newspaper collection guy?
What about frames/pictures. I just don't want to give it anybody ( as they might do a disrespectful disposal)
Can I just put the frames/pictures in some river/ocean
Please guide.

this is sort of on topic, but the situation is slightly different.
I ordered a nice watch with a picture of my deities, and sadly today it broke :( :( :(
I tried to fix it with superglue, but I made things worse .. so what should I do now (it's a stainless steel watch).
to hide it very deep under ground?
the main thing is that such like sacred things should not be touched with our feet. But deep ground is clean. Water is also clean but these days colors we use for painting and all are not organic so they damage the rivers so better to give to a fire if they are on paper.

Your servant,
Better to give to fire.
As we do the same thing with other sacred items.

m confused becuz it will be an offense to burn spiritual things but if we put them in river with all respect it is going to ocean where they will get decayed and all. Please can you let me know how is it right to burn spiritual things. m so sorry for my ignorance but I really have not heard this way of disposing things. Please forgive me for my silly question
your servant
fire is not dirty Prabhuji.
When we give them to river then they will be touched by so many living entities. Some of them will build house from them or what do fishes do...
Please, let's use our intelligence. We are talking about keeping clean river Yamuna and other rivers but at the same time throwing colored pictures to the rivers. Is it intelligent?
I will do that, then another person then over 1 billion of Indian people will do the same thing then it will be not river but photo gallery.
In our Temple we used to do that. And senior Devotee also did so. If i am not correct, please guide me someone who knows the truth from Vaishnava etiquette not by whimsical sources!

You are right about cleaning mother Yamuna and the other things related to mother Yamuna. But I heard in one lecture of Mahraj that mother Yamuna has been diverted somewhere in Himachal Pradesh and the one river that we get it is not the original river.

All the things related to devotional service(including calenders/magazines), please nicely collect them and with all respect dispatch them in some river.
This is what we used to do in our VOICE.

Thank you for reply. I agree the best way of disposal would be to dispatch it in some river.
