Question
How should one dispose of secular newspapers and magazines that contain Divine names (e.g., "G-d" [completely spelled] and/or the transliteration of the Tetragrammaton)?
Answer
If you have seen G-dโ€™s name in a newspaper, the paper can still be thrown away in the garbage but not in a way that shows scorn or derision (donโ€™t put it next to liquid or smelly garbage; throw it out with other papers). You neednโ€™t worry about there being G-dโ€™s name in the paper unless you have actually seen it there (Shach Yoreh Deah 179,11; Mishna Berura 85 10; Shuโ€t Iggrot Moshe Yoreh Deah I 172-173).
