Usually they are incinerated along with other medical waste from the hospital.

In some cultures, it is important to people that their whole body be buried together, and they can request that the limb be released to them for cremation and/or burial.

They are disposed of as medical waste. Some religious groups insist the severed body parts be buried in sanctified, if unmarked, ground, as this is part of the human body.
