Question
Completely erased sections of tefillin, do they require strict genizah, and is it forbidden to place in strict genizah something that is not required to be placed there?
Answer
Torah scrolls, tefillin, and mezuzot, and other books written in ink on parchment, require strict genizah, and they are buried in clay (or plastic) vessels so that they are preserved for a long time. There is no prohibition to place other things there, it's just a waste of effort.
