I do agree if the balls are any good let a member put them to good use.

How bout a good rousing game of parking lot bowling?

They also make good targets for 12 gauge slugs.

Boat anchors?

Medieval catapult ammo?

Makings for a coffee table?

Throw them off a bridge and into the water! I have a Urethane Nitro and AZO Fatman in the river near my house

That is IF you can find a member that wants to pay for shipping, paypal fees, and maybe even a little extra to compensate for your time.

Why lose money when you can get rid of them for free?

I would agree with donating them to a youth program, but I keep hearing that the kids don't want anything that is more than 1 season old.

If you are going to chuck them, I would ask around your league and see if anybody is interested.  You should be able to at least get a beverage out of the deal.

In my old neighborhood there was a house that used bowling balls as fence post toppers.


Edit:
Here are some ideas:

Bowling ball fence.

Giant rosary.

Garden gazing balls.

Garden bubbler fountain.

Caterpillar.

If you don't want to donate them to anyone, make a driveway edge, fence or give them away on BR, why not just leave them at the center in a rack ?  Some bowler may well want to use them. Here anyway, open bowlers have a hard time finding balls that half way fit, might help someone out, never know.

Personally, I have a walk way lined with old cracked useless balls leading to the shop. Starting to find old pins as well, ball..pin..ball..pin, just something different.

WHY NOT DONATE THEM TO THE LOCAL BOWLING ALLEY. THEY CAN USE THEM AS LANE BALLS.

you can make dumbells out of them with an iron pipe and epoxy on either end with 2 holes drilled into the sides of the ball.  If the ball is cracked out beyond repair their is no one that would take it off your hands.  Try getting the Core out light a quarter stick of dynomite in it during fourth of july.  Go duck bowling with it.  Yes not duckpin  duck. lol
