Give 'em away, sell 'em, dump 'em in the river.

throw them into an empty dumpster (has to be empty) from about 10-20 feet.  Or, if I'm feeling generous, I'll donate them to the rack at the bowling alley.

it depends on the ball. if they're still in production my pro shop operator will take mine as a trade-in. as i get new equipment every year at least a few of them are still in production. i keep one "retired" ball to practice with during the season. the others are resurfaced and given to the junior leagues in my association.

Give them to my local pro shop, donate them to youth leagues, occasionally I've put them on the ball rack at one of the local centers that I bowl at.

I do have a couple of retired bowling balls though at my parents house, I've been tempted from time to time to replug and redrill them just to see how I would do with them nowadays...
