Phone Chargers - What do you do with old ones?

I know how to recycle old phones & have done so but what do I do with all the old chargers I've gathered up for different phones?
I've got about 4 that I don't need.
Any ideas? It seems such a waste just to put them in the bin. But every time I get a new phone a new charger turns up!

    I think you can recycle old chargers in the same way as phones. I went into a phone shop a bit ago that had a large bin type container for old phones for recycling, with seperate columns for phones and chargers. But if you're talking about those recycle envelopes then I'm not sure about them. Otherwise put them on ebay? Not sure how much luck you'll have there as brand new 3rd party chinese made ones are stupidly cheap.

    Give them away on freecycle.

    As above poster, give them away on your local freecycle, someone's bound to need one.
