What happens to a limb when an amputation surgery is performed?

Does the hospital just throw it away or what?

The limb, blood, and anything that has touched blood, tissue or limb is listed as a HazMat (Hazzardus Material- in this case, Biohazard Materail) and is normally destroyed in an incinerator.
