Sell/recycle broken iphones

Hi all
We have several broken iPhones : does anyone know of a charity or recycling scheme that could make use of them? On first look at resale sites the phones are worth buttons.
Any ideas welcomed

    You could sell them on ebay for spares and give the proceeds to the charity of your choice, but remove them from your relevant icloud accounts if you can't wipe them first.

    Several charities will take them.  Drop off at Oxfam or get a free postage bag from poverty child for example.

    But do the charities want broken phones or ones they can easily trade in to a dealer.
