and dispose of each bit in a different location

I destroy them by cutting it off into 4 pieces and then throwing them away at different locations. There is no purpose of keeping them.

I would like to know what happens if you purchase train tickets with a card, it goes out of date, would you use the old or new card to collect the tickets? Same with refunds, though with refunds I think you can use the new card.

We have a woodburning stove which deals with them very effectively lol.

Does any replacement card not come with a letter clearly saying what to do with the old one?

I'd be very surprised if your letter advise you to collect them.

If the old card hasn't expired yet I make sure I destroy it so it cannot be reassembled and used again. If it's expired then it can't be used anyway so I'll just cut it in half ensuring I cut through the chip and throw it out. If the account has been closed I do seem to collect them. I must get around to destroying them some time.

As long as you save the collection reference I've been told you can use any bank card to collect the tickets

I keep them. I've currently got a collection of several hundred. Mad or what?

You just need to use a card with a magnetic stripe, It doesnt have to be the card you paid on, I have used whatever card comes out of my purse first. it works even with store cards.

you just need the collection reference to actually get the ticket.

Cool. I've seen at some stations the collection reference wasn't enough, you needed to put the card in first. I'm not sure why it would be different for different stations though.
