There are numerous schools of Islamic thinking and differences of opinion, but broadly speaking there are two preferable options.
Muslims are advised to wrap a worn and unusable copy of the Koran in cloth and to bury it in such a way that people do not walk over the place where the Koran is buried. That would be considered disrespectful.
The other option is to wrap the Koran and place it in a moving body of water, with some jurists advising that the Koran be tied to an object so that it sinks.
Where these two options are not available, some scholars do argue that Muslims can burn a Koran.
There is also the issue of religious literature and texts, which may not be Korans, but still carry the name of God and Koranic verses.
Here some Islamic jurists advise that the name of God, his prophets and Koranic verses be erased before the pages are burned.
