I gave a few thousand old floppies to an artist on Etsy. She recycled 100% of them into art items, and then sent my wife some cool jewelry to thank me for the raw material. Some of the jewelry was even made out of the floppies I sent, although you wouldn't know it to look at the jewelry. She also made some fancy photo frames and some other items.
I just came across the artist's "floppy disc artwork" by accident while looking around on Etsy, which then prompted the idea to get rid of the old floppies I had in storage. I'm sure there are other artists who use floppy discs for art material...
[EDIT: bhousel's post has some better suggestions...the ACT Recycling program sounds especially neat.]
