And another idea for those glasses: Astronomers Without Borders has been accepting donations for over 15 years. They partner with organizations where you can drop off or send your used glasses.
One of those partners includes Warby Parker, which also had an eclipse glasses giveaway program ahead of the total solar eclipse. You can find a Warby location here.

Check out the full list of Astronomers Without Borders partners that accept recycled eclipse glasses here.
