We still burn them. :-p

It is 'disrespectful' to fly a worn flag, so you are supposed to take it down, fold and store it properly, then have it burned in a ceremony (generally on labor/memorial day and done by American Legion/vets associations though I am sure there are others).

Other bit of interesting flag trivia, you are not supposed to fly it at night unless it is lit! Supposed to take it in every dusk and raise it at dawn (or, more accurately, when you get around to it).
