The Four Species After the Holiday

Question

Hello, The Four Species after the holiday Do they have sanctity? How can they be disposed of respectfully? And what is the ruling on the nylon of the willows that says there is no concern of cutting, theft, desecration of Shabbat, and Shemitah prohibitions?

Answer

Hello 

They do not have sanctity, but since they were used for a mitzvah, they should not be treated disrespectfully.

They should be wrapped in nylon and disposed of in the trash. 

The statement you mentioned does not require genizah.
