sirOne of the habits that many have is using the newspaper as a dastar khwaan and use it to get the roti etc. from the tandoor in it and when finished eating it is rolled and dumped in the garbage. That page of newspaper can have holy names of Allah on it being part of the names of persons like Abdullah, Abdul Majeed, etc…. or even there might be an obituary and verses of Quran printed on the paper.
Using it for rolling eatables is also un-hygienic as no one knows who sneezed on it or where they were placed before ending up being used to handle eatables etc..
Also in many mosques or religious madrassah you will find copies of the Quran or a Qaidas or religious books in very bad condition and the pages little by little end up on the floor when children read it and so on.
In UAE they came up with the idea of purpose built boxes outside most of the mosques to collect newspapers and religious papers, they are collected and recycled.
you just nailed it
you really did
do you know something about the canal in Lahore? a guy actually cleans it by collecting the Quranic pages that are thrown by people (a ritual to destroy an old Quran by either burring it or putting it in water). he scoops those pages that are mixed with the entire filth of Lahore. see? what a disaster.
