Wonder what to do with your blessed palm from previous years? (1) you can burn it; (2) check with your parish priest if he needs it to make ashes for Ash Wednesday; or (3) cut it into small pieces and put it in your compost - it might seem disrespectful, but it will eventually deteriorate and return to the earth. Just don't throw it in the garbage - it was blessed and still is blessed.
