As a Canadian, even I know how to properly dispose of a US flag

Hi I'm genuinely confused? Is this bad? Or is it like an American thing

There was an old weathered, mouse stained flag we found in the basement of a building that was used by the local boyscouts. Was underneath an old 50 man military tent. Had 48 stars and was in part a gift to the town as the scout hall was once the City Hall of Commons where townfolk and city officials would get together for feeds, dancing etc. Was built as part of the FDR plan to put Americans back to work. It was the last flag as a Boy Scout that I retired as I made Eagle and left shortly after. It was also the last flag to have its stars and stripes seperated before burning. We took a photo that was in the paper, "Old 48 Star Flag Retired by Troop conducting annual flag burning ceremony" with it stretched out before we proceeded.
