What to do with old optical drives?

I have disposed of all sorts of older techical equipment including hard drives, CDs & DVDs, even an old desktop for spares via Freegle https://www.ilovefreegle.org/ where there has always been someone keen to give something a second lease of life. Even larger stuff goes as well - after a kitchen refit both the old fridge and cooker were happily taken away by younger people starting their first home.

Ask some Unis or museums…
Very often Unis are showing older technologies in a kind of a museum in Computer Science Departments…
Saw this very often in the UK.
