The same suggestion might be made wrt the Computer Museum and/or other 
tech object archives... but that in turn requires, if nothing else, 
triaging software discs from data and junkers, which, I'm sure, is itself
a large thankless effort, and even then, odds are no archive will want 
said large batch. (But if somebody knows otherwise, name that recipient!)

2nd prize: We all send our old CDs/DVDs there :-)
