If you mean the recipient's original organ, on the consent form for the transplant operation there is a tick-box saying "I allow my original organ to be used for research purposes". Ticking this allows the original organ to go off to the lab for research and analysis. Unless there is any reason to keep it for further use after this has been done, it will be incinerated. Most people seem to tick this box.
If the recipient does not want their original organ to be researched on, it just goes to be incinerated.
