Recycling question - air mattresses [View all]

I got on another re-organization spree this morning, and once again came across the big tote containing three or four air mattresses that I had gotten years ago when grandsons and friends spent nights at my house. I want to get rid of them, but I don't really know what to do. I'm pretty sure if I put them up on craigslist for free somebody will take them, but is that okay?

They're clean, and have been in that tote for years in a climate controlled spot. Input?

I'm a minimalist with too much stuff.
