You will just have to let your conscience be your guide. Perhaps you would feel guilty about putting them in the garbage, but you would feel even worse about keeping the useless things. Like I said, let your conscience be your guide—just my opinion.

We just check our local Patch: https://patch.com/ for the next electronics drive. It usually benefits some organization and we get rid of junk! Good luck!
