recyling vinyl?

What do you do to old records that are worthless to listen to due to excessive wear?
I have collected over 2000 old LPs (and those 10" prior to LPs) over the years, but half of them are neither my type nor too much worn out. Sometimes I buy in bulk and keep what I like. I've started trashing them, and yesterday about 100, and more need to be trashed.
Do you just put them in a garbage bag with other trashes so that garbage trucks can pick it up?
Do you separate the covers and inner sleeves for recycle?
Do they recycle vinyls?
Is there a place that takes old (useless) records?

If they are really bad, then you have a few options :

Make some bowls out of them :

Or toss them out on garbage night and either the trash man gets them or somebody else will.

I use them in the garden as a weed block around vegetables. Seriously.

What has worked well for me and my lawyer has said is a wonderful solution is, I give my old ones to my X wife. She never plays them so has not idea that they are bad.

We are talking win win here.

Good luck and God speed.
