How to Dispose of Papers Containing Names of Allah, Prophets, and Imams

Question

What should we do with papers that contain the names of Allah, the Prophets, and the Imams? How should we dispose of them? Is it sufficient to cut the paper so that the words are no longer intact and then throw it in the trash? Or is it enough to cross out the words so that they cannot be read? [AR_ID:443]
