Thanks for reading with us and learning about tzitzit! We just finished covering the halachot in Shulchan HaMelech and G-d willing will move on soon to cover the Ben Ish Chai's halachot of tzitzit. Though some of these were quoted in Shulchan HaMelech, the Ben Ish Chai also has many more halachot on this subject.
Wishing everyone a Ketiva veHatima Tova!

Age a Minor should Begin to wear Tzitzit
Chapter Fifteen Page 42 Al HaShulchan
5. Once a minor knows how to put on a tallit, his father must buy him zizit in order to educate him in this Mitzva. The authorities differ as to the age when this applies; some hold that at nine years old, others say for an intelligent child from six years old and one not so bright at nine years old, and a third opinion is that once he reaches the age of three there is already an obligation to educate him as the Torah indicates (in Leviticus 19) 'for three years they shall be restricted to you...and in the fourth year, etc.' This minor should say the blessing over zizit in the same way as an adult, and when he reaches the age of thirteen years he has the same obligation concerning zizit as an adult (K.Hach 17:10) and he should not wait until marriage to fulfill this Mitzva. (Mishna Berura 17:10)
Note from us: Please consult your own rabbi to find out what to do - these are for learning purposes only.
As quoted from:
Shulchan HaMelech, a Kitzur Shulchan Aruch in 3 volumes as compiled by Maharan HaRav Shmuel Laniado z'al, 1923 with the supplement "Al HaShulchan" containing various opinions compiled by Ezra Basri, Chief Justice of the District Court, Jerusalem in 1992.
We would like to dedicate this learning for the speedy and complete recovery of several people, including Gittel bas Yehudis, Mendel ben Florence, our friends' 5-year-old son, Joseph Benjamin, son of Ireneusz Khrystof, diagnosed in April with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and a longtime friend of the family, Franco, son of Joseph, who is B"H recovering from thyroid surgery.

Proper Disposal of Worn-out Tallit
Chapter Fifteen Page 42 Al HaShulchan
4. Tallitot which have become worn out should not be put to improper use but be thrown away to disintegrate. If a tallit gadol is partially worn out and cannot be worn in its entirety, one may make a tallit kattan from the stronger part. (B.I.Ch. ibid. 20,21)

Proper disposal of Tzizit
Chapter Fifteen Page 42 Al HaShulchan
3. Ziziot are considered halachically as Mitzva appurtenances and are not intrinsically holy. This means that as long as they are attached to a tallit it is forbidden to make a profane use of them, such as tying up an article with them and one must take care that they are not dragged on the ground as this disgraces the Mitzva; and if they are broken off from the tallit they may not be thrown into the garbage or other improper place - some are meticulous to place them in a Geniza (storage place for worn or disused holy books and articles), and they shall receive a special blessing. (B.I.Ch. Lech Lecha 19)

Protection from Tallit and Tzitzit
Chapter Fifteen Page 42 Al HaShulchan
2. When a person puts on his tallit and goes out of his home he is protected from damage and all kinds of destructive forces. (Zohar Vayikra 60) However, someone who has no tallit gadol is considered to be under a ban from Heaven (Tract. Pesachim 1b). Throught the merit of zizit one is saved from the evil inclination, as related in tractate Menachot 44a (q.v.). Many other merits are mentioned in the Talmud and the Midrash for those who are careful in keeping the Mitzva of zizit. (v.Bet Simcha p.79) Those who perform this Mitzva with fervor are worthy of greeting the Divine Presence, among other great virtues as explained in the Talmud and the Midrash. One who passes the zizit over his eyes when he reads the portion pertaining to zizit (Numbers 15; recited daily as the third portion of Shema) is guaranteed that he will not become blind. (Bet Simcha P.61)

Attractive Tallit and Tzitzit
Chapter Fifteen Page 41 Al HaShulchan
1. One should make an effort to wear an attractive tallit as it is written (Exodus 15) "This is my G-d and I will serve Him in a beautiful manner" which the Talmud (Mesechta Shabbat 133b) explains that we are encouraged to perform the commandments in an attractive manner, to make a beautiful Sukka, beautiful zizit, etc. One should take care to launder the tallit regularly so that it should always be white and clean (K.Hach 24:3) and
someone who is well-dressed but his tallit is repulsive merits a strict punishment. (Bet Simcha p.80)

Some Halachot Pertaining to this Time of Year
As cited by Ben Olam Haba in his Halacha for Today email:
1) In most congregations, the Ba'al Tefilah (one leading the services) for Selichos wears a Tallis, even if the Selichos is being said before daybreak (or at night after Chatzos, Halachic midnight) which is before the proper time for Tzitzis and Tallis.
It is best for the Ba'al Tefilah to use the Shul's Tallis or a friend's, but not his own, as to not get into the problem of perhaps needing to recite a Bracha (as some Poskim maintain that a Bracha is required even at night on your own Tallis.)
2) The reason it is so important for a Tallis to be worn by Selichos, is as follows:
The Talmud (Rosh Hashana 17b) relates that Hashem Himself in all His glory wrapped Himself in a Tallis like a Ba'al Tefilah and appeared to Moshe Rabeinu and showed him the appropriate way for Klal Yisroel to pray (and thus merit the forgiveness of Hashem).
It was then that Hashem revealed to Moshe the "Yud Gimel Middos Shel Rachamim" (Tefilah containing the 13 attributes of mercy of Hashem), which we will say countless times between now and Yom Kippur, and is perhaps the most exalted and powerful prayer known to mankind. (Tomorrow, we shall discuss the 13 Middos more at length)
Holding Tzitzit While Saying Shema, and Reward and Punishment regarding Tzitzit
Chapter Fifteen Page 41 Laws of a Tallit that was Torn; and of Wearing Zizit, its reward and punishment
5. It is a Mitzva to hold the ziziot in the left hand close to the heart when reciting the Shema; the Torah makes an allusion to this: (Deut. 11) 'and these matters should be placed on your heart.' It is commendable to look at the ziziot when saying the blessing over them. Some have the custom to look at the ziziot when they reach the words 'ure'item oto' ('...and you shall look at it...') and to put them on their eyes. This is a fine custom which demonstrates affection for the Mitzva. When looking at the ziziot one should look at the two ziziot in front which have ten knots, an allusion to Havayot (which refers to the ten spheres (Sefirot) of Kabbala which are attached together) and also have sixteen threads which together with the ten knots add up to twenty-six, the numerical value of Havaya (the Holy One blessed be He).
The punishment of one who abstains from the Mitzva of zizit is considerable; concerning him it states (Job 38) 'I have commanded to grasp the corners of the earth and shake out the wicked from it'. One who is meticulous in keeping the Mitzva of zizit shall have the merit of greeting the Divine Presence.

Men Should Wear a Tallit Katan the Whole Day
Chapter Fifteen Page 41 Laws of a Tallit that was Torn; and of Wearing Zizit, its reward and punishment
4. It is commendable and correct practice for every man to be sure to wear a tallit kattan the whole day in order to remember G-d's commandments at every moment.

The Vilna Gaon on Tzitzit
The Vilna Gaon lived with this sense of the fleeting opportunities this world presents us. Shortly before he died, he was seen holding his tzitzis and crying. He explained to his talmidim, "Soon I will be leaving this world. Here, for just a few pennies, I can buy tzitzis and fulfill the mitzvah every minute of the day, and day after day. Before long, I will be in a world where I will not be able to purchase that opportunity even for millions."
~ The Pirkei Avos Treasury
