So how is the remaining blood discarded?? Never fully explains what happens in the end

From some online searching, sounds like it gets sterilized at a treatment facility, then dumped in a landfill or flushed out in the sewer system if there is remaining waste after the sterilization method.

Some places have it burned. Check out a video called "The journey of a blood sample" because it talks a bit more about this.
