Hi,
After we have finished using the four species (lulav, etrog, hadas and aravah), we still treat them with respect. Their mitzvah is concluded, but they were mitzvah-items at one point.
Some extend this to the Hoshannot branches of Hoshana Rabbah as well, even though it was not used for a biblical mitzvah. One should not step on it, even if it is on the ground from its mitzvah use.
(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 664:8; Mishneh Berurah 664:28)
Chag sameach,
Mordechai
