I don't know what they ultimately do with it, but they apparently bring it back to Earth rather than discard it in space.
It's not a good idea to leave any more junk up there because it might collide with future spacecraft or satellites.
"Discovery decoupled Saturday from the ISS and began a two-day return flight to Earth, transporting 2.3 tonnes of rubbish, waste and unneeded parts for the ISS."
