If you can't find someone to give them to, try looking for a recycling facililty on http://www.earth911.org. They have a large database of recycling locations around the US. They try but their list sometimes misses some, so if nothing is listed in  your neck of the woods, call your local (city or county) Clerk's office they can help point you in the right direction.
