What does everybody do with container soil after a plant has died?

I'm talking specifically about a houseplant that may have kicked it for no apparent reason, esp. my over-wintering annuals that just don't like it indoors. If a plant is obviously infected w/ a disease, it goes in the trash of course. Annuals that I have let freeze in outdoor containers go into the compost and I plant anew in the spring (adding a little fresh container mix).

BUT... I have about a dozen indoor plant pots with dry, old soil in them, and more often than not, dry, dead plants. What do I do???

I will add that they are not all the same soil mix- some are bonsai, some succulent, etc.
