Sage advice.

Definitely better than tossing. I have two pair that we've used for 1 total and 2 partial solar eclipses.

My entire collection is being given to Trumpers to protect their eyes from his magnificent orange glow.

Also can be used as aviator glasses.

I am a strong believer in helping others by always donating usable stuff others may need.

Here is another example and reason you need to donate your eclipse sunglasses.

Keep them, you're really going to need them after Nov. even though he lives in your head 24/7.

The 2045 solar eclipse is going right through my backyard. I can't wait.
