Temurah 7:6-Kerisos 1:1

Temurah 7:6

Any sacrifice that was slaughtered outside of its designated time or place must be burned. A conditional guilt offering (that was found to be unnecessary) must be burned; Rabbi Yehuda says that it must be buried. A sin offering of a bird that was brought out of doubt must be burned (rather than eaten, as a sin offering normally is); Rabbi Yehuda says that it must be thrown into the sewer. Anything meant to be burned must not be buried, and vice versa. Rabbi Yehuda permits one to act more stringently and to burn things that are meant to be buried, though the Sages allow no deviation.
