Is this good or bad?

Do people clean their sand or just throw it out?

Do we flush sand down the toilet or just in the trash can?

Just leave it, as that is normal. If it is a deep sand bed and you stir it up, you may cause problems in your tank.

Most of the time when people are changing our their sand beds, they are moving their tank or upgrading to a different tank. Removing the sand bed is done after the fish are removed. I'd suggest a trash can if you want to get rid of it, as it's not worth possibly backing up your toilet.
