The question is, was the Dreamcatcher blessed before you wore it.
If not, it is just a bit of wire and string and you can dispose of it as you would any other object (trash).
On the other hand if it has been blessed, you must release the energies.
I'll give you a small ritual: Note this is a scaled down modified native American ritual that is appropriate for de-energizing an Artifact (energized item).
First gather the following items:
1) small swath of earth-toned color cloth (big enough to wrap the Dreamcatcher)
2) small bowl
3) some water (about 3 cups)
4) sea salt (it's purer than table salt but table salt will do)
5) a spade or shovel.
6) matches
7) sandalwood incense
First off find a wooded area. Not necessarily the back yard but it will do. Gather your items to your left and kneel.
All Rituals should start with some kind of "prayer". Since this is a native American Ritual perhaps it should be worded something like this: "Mother Earth, Father Sky I kneel before you to release your spirit children from my service."
Then lay your cloth before you. Place the bowl at the center of the cloth. Remove the Dreamcatcher and place it in the bowl. Light the incense. Wave the incense over the bowl and say: "Spirit of Wind come and guide these spirits from this vessel. Lead them away from this vessel and guide them onto their next incarnation." Set the incense aside but don't extinguish it. Light a match. Wave the lit match over the Dreamcatcher and say: "Spirit of Fire come and cleanse with cleansing fire, this vessel, destroying all trace of the Spirits presence." The match may not stay lit, just use another until you have singed the Dreamcatcher. You don't have to completely burn it up. Now pour the water into the bowl with the Dreamcatcher and say: "Spirit of Water come and purify this item in your gentle embrace. Purify this item, remove all trace of occupancy." The grab a pinch of salt and sprinkle it into the water and say" Spirit of Earth come and seal this item and block the residence of any Spirits who wish to dwell within." Then using your spade, dig a small hole ( 6 inches deep). Remove the Dreamcatcher from the bowl and wrap it in your cloth. Set the bowl aside, but do not empty it yet. Place the wrapped Dreamcatcher in the hole and fill in the hole. Now take the spent matches and incense and place them in the water. Pour the contents upon the ground and say:"Spirits I thank you for your help in my tasks. Please return to whence you came and go with my blessings and thanks. My Will Be Done. May The Circle Be Complete!" This capitalized part should be spoken forcefully. Finish with a prayer: "Mother Earth, Father Sky, I thank you for sending your Children to my aid. My Will Be Done. May The Circle Be Complete!" The Dreamcatcher has been properly released and you will not receive any bad "Karma" from abandoning it.
I hope this helps...
