We have a book trading bookshelf at work. Everyone who has books to dispose of or share just drops them off there. Some are borrowed, some are adopted, and some are ignored.
If you don't have something like this at your employer, why not start one? It can be just a small, humble spot on a community desk or counter with a sign, and a few of your own books to start.
As people catch on, they'll leave books there that you might enjoy.
If that is not doable, donate them to your local library.
Recycling or throwing them out is the last resort.
