Just double bag it and throw it in the garbage.
Tashmishai Kedusha shebolu see mishnah berurah.

It is permitted to dispose of a used tallit or tzitzit, but it is improper to deface them.

Thanks for the confirmation guys. (Although the link continues and says "Ideally they should be buried together with other worn out holy articles and books")

I've tried putting the strings in a sock, doesn't always seem to work. Any other ideas?

Is it the washing that ruins them, or the drying?

The best way is to wash in milk and a bit of cold water, for a few minutes, then wash them in cold water again.

with all due respect, is it such a big deal to soak the beged in some water and detergent while the tzitzis hang out? it doesnt seem like rocket science

You could do that, but then the strings stay dirty.

OR his wife cleans them so that they don't ever get dirty. Either way, was kidding.

no, no, he's trying to end the argument. He's peaceful - the argument ends as soon as everyone agrees to see things in a rational way - conindentally, his way... ;D ;D ;D
