Cannot find anything about disposal, except that a bomb squad did the job.

The initial reports said it was not certain when the bombs were meant to go off. Who knows when it was meant to explode.

I would think the FBI goal would be to defuse the bombs but not destroy evidence if at all possible. Fingerprints. Or signature style of pipe bomber who has done this before, etc.
