After about 90 to 120 days they get brittle and are filtered from the blood (mainly) by the liver and the spleen. Most of the chemicals are released into the blood where they are taken up by the bone marrow and used in the production of new red blood cells.

But a fair amount of hemoglobin is broken down by the liver and is added to the bile - where its only function is to color your solid waste.
