Hi,
The protective cover of a book of Torah possesses a level of sanctity, and therefore it may not be thrown out. However, if the cover was only intended for temporary use, it may be thrown out.
(Rivivot Ephraim 1:119:3)

Recycling "Sheimos"
Hi,
Printed works which contain Gd's Name ("sheimos") may not be submitted for recycling. It is possible that this might be acceptable for Torah texts which do not contain Gd's Name and which are no longer usable due to wear, but that requires examination.
(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 4:39)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
