What do you do with your retired helmets?

[JonJo]

Is there somewhere they can be recycled or are they landfil?

BTW, love this from the Snell foundation http://www.smf.org/helmetfaq#aWhyReplace, 'The Foundation recommends that if you are participating in an activity that requires that you wear a helmet, you avoid hitting stuff with your head.'

Check with your local emergency response people or hospitals. They can sometimes use old helmets to teach people how to remove them in case of emergency.

Does passing them onto the wife count?!

That's a great idea GW, never thought of that. I just stuff them in the garage for now, I really hate the idea of landfill and try to avoid it as much as possible.

This is what happens to retired  boots

Maybe decorate your garage or man cave by displaying your old lids with some brite work and led lights?  Sentimental reasons I suppose...

I always take mine to the nearest fire station, they use them for training pusposes for accident removal.

First thing I do is to cut the straps off so it can't be used properly again. Giving them to local St. John, Red Cross etc, for practising is good. When I did motorsport rescue we carried an air powered helmet saw so old helmets were handy to practise on, it's very noisy inside having a helmet cut off with a saw.

I just saw mine in 2. Never can be used again
