Everyone is pointing you to the veterans organizations, but you might also want to check out the lodges of the Elks, Masons, Moose, etc. Most of these organizations have ceremonies to dispose of the flag.
As to a specific location, that is not necessary. All you need to do is follow the procedure, and give the proper ceremony.
Thanks for taking proper care of our flag.

Just about any Veterans org can help. VFW, American Legion, AM VETS. You could also try and contact one of your local recruiters.

The proper way to dispose of them is to burn them. What you could do after that is spread the ashes on vetran's graves.
In other words, do it near a church/cemetary, where veteran's are buried.
