Question

I have an Etrog sanctified with the sanctity of the seventh year that I used during Sukkot. What should I do with it now after the Sukkot holiday?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

When the Etrog is fit for consumption, it should not be thrown away in the trash. Therefore, if you do not wish to eat it, you should wait until the Etrog is no longer fit for human consumption. [This usually takes several months], and then it is permissible to dispose of it in the trash within a bag.
