Disposing of an English copy of the Quraan Majeed with only translation in it

Q: Please clarify for me, with regards to an English copy of the Quraan (translation only, no Arabic) Mufti had replied; 

1. There is consensus among leading ulama that the Quraan without the original text is impermissible and not at all correct. The right thing is to not use such a translation which does not have the original Arabic text. 

My question is, should I dispose of this copy of the Quraan? Can it be burnt? 

2. How do I dispose of Islamic writings and duas that have become yellowed with time?

A: 

1. Yes. Do so with respect. 

2. As above. One way is to put it into a box respectfully and bury it at a place where nobody will tramp.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
