Question:

There  is a huge load of old papers accumulated at the office storage.
Being in the Middle East many of them may contain 'bismillah etc.. What
method of disposal, eg  burning is allowed?  Burial /Sea is very dificult.

Answer:

Any manner of disposing which is not direspectful is permissible - e.g.
recycling, in my judgement, is a permissible method.
