What are the rules about what you can do with an amputated limb? Image source, Eerez Avramov. Each year, there are thousands of major limb amputations carried out nationally. Typically, when limbs are amputated, a patient signs a waiver giving up ownership of their surgical leavings to a pathological lab. Patients often have the option to donate their limbs to science, however if they choose not to, hospitals will dispose of limbs as medical waste.
Typically, once disposed of, body parts are incinerated. This is important to reduce the chances of contamination, but it is also done on parts with no known pathogens. It is also to keep landfills clean and to not shock or scare sanitation workers, not to mention stir a possible investigation into a homicide case.

Do all you can to keep the wound clean and avoid further injury to the area. Mild bleeding usually stops on its own or slows to an ooze or trickle after 15 minutes of pressure.
