You can sell them on ebay, or you may be able to donate them to a
local charity. They're locked to Verizon's network, but VZ shouldn't
care if someone else wants to use them on a different VZ account.

Ebay has a page with estimates of how much they're worth:

I gather that womens' shelters and the like can use old phones even
without service since they can still dial 911. See
