I don't know about there, but out here (and throughout the Cascadian region - up through BC and down through Oregon), Home Depots will take them for free. Other big-box hardware stores do too, I think. We also have quarterly disposal opportunities.
If you don't have anywhere else to put them, the actual correct answer is put them in a plastic bag (without air, mostly so the bag doesn't pop when crushed) and throw them away. I do the Home Depot thing.
