Disposing of Sechach

Can a person throw away used schach in the garbage? If so, must it be thrown away in a baG?

Answer:

Used Sechach can be discarded.

However, since it was used for a mitzvah, it should not be disposed of in a degrading way, and it is correct to keep it separate from other garbage if this is possible. Big planks of wood or canes are to a degree separate by definition, and this is sufficient.

Best wishes.
