What was done with the remains of the sin offering?

Lévitique 16:27 (NEG79)

27 On emportera hors du camp le taureau expiatoire et le bouc expiatoire dont on a porté le sang dans le sanctuaire pour faire l'expiation, et l'on brûlera au feu leurs peaux, leur chair et leurs excréments.

The remains of the sin offerings were not to remain in the camp, they were to be disposed of outside the camp. The discarding of the remains was dealt with in Leviticus 4:12, Leviticus 4:21. On this occasion, however, one difference appears: here it is not the duty of the priest to dispose of the remains, but of some other person.
