How do hospitals in general dispose of our placenta slash umbilical cords?

When I had given birth to my daughter not too long ago my MIL had taken a picture of my placenta/umbilical cord because I requested, but I was curious to how hospitals in general dispose of our placenta/umbilical cords? Does anybody know? Thanks
