What to do with pre-owned vinyl?


Background: From ~1978 to 1991 I collected  many100s of vinyl records. At least 50% were classical; the rest jazz, R&B, World music, reggae, gospel--maybe 1200 records total. A few of the classical LPs are likely collectable/valuable, but most fall below that threshold. I’ve had these LPs stored in boxes since 1991. It’s becoming obvious I'll never again have a TT set up to hear these records. BTW, I live in Goshen, NY.

Can anyone suggest a way for me to responsibly dispose of these LPs?

FYI, I’d be happy to give to a store or reseller for estimated value, or donate them for a charity write-off. Money isn't my biggest concern & I have no appetite for trying to sell them on my own.

I also have a ton of old/good audio gear in the same problematic state (stored by never to be used again)...but that’s another story for another day.

Thanks in advance for any useful advice...

not sure its too far of a drive or not, but Princeton Record exchange would likely take them.
Many record stores (the ones that sell used records) will buy collections.  If money isn't a concern, then that might be the "easy button".
I will tell you again, if there is one rare record in your collection, this record alone can cost more than entire collection. Jazz, Gospel, R&B from the 70's (originals) can be rare today if it's not a mainstream. Worth to check by titles on popsike.com where you will see all finals of ebay auctions. 
Jump on the NY thruway go to Princeton Record exchange when they are open.
