The Candles are blessed by a priest so the candles are holy. So they simply aren’t thrown in a dump! Am I right?

Priests blessing candles does not make them holy. Only God is holy. Not inanimate objects.

Where did the Lone Ranger put his garbage?
In the dump, in the dump, in the dump dump dump – -

Seriously Shannon, I expect that different churches do different things with those candles. But – Those candles are only an idea that is supposed to support a greater purpose.
Thanks for asking that question though .. I’ll bet you get the answer before I do!

You’re thinking of this the wrong way. Its like communion crackers, though they represent the body of Christ, they did come out of a package from a supermarket. As well as the grape juice used in other churches. What isn’t used and can be stored will be stored, what can’t be stored goes in the dump.

They are blessed when completed and the properly reused or disposed of. Due to being used in a religious manner they are treated with special care.
