I think they usually incinerate or otherwise dispose of them industrially since the point is to remove the contaminants from the ecosystem. I’m not entirely sure with petroleum, but I saw a study for mushrooms removing heavy metals from soil, and those they definetly had to dispose of like toxic waste.
