Contact your local EMS or Fire station, they should be able to put you in touch with someone who can put them to good use.

This is a great idea.

I'd like to start putting them on the top of barbwire fence posts. Maybe collect a pickup bed full and head out into the country a do a long stretch at one time.

Might be the start of some new road art.

I take my old helmets to a friend who removes the liners, sands the shells and then repaints them with some fantastic artwork. He then sells them at shows/meets/fleamarkets as art to hang on the wall.
He never reinstalls the liners so the helmets can't be worn.
