How do I dispose of stuffed animals?

It seems wrong to throw them out. I sleep with a stuffed animal every night (it’s stops pain in my shoulders, and it’s soft and huggable) and after awhile they lose their softness and the stuffing sags. Washing them ruins them completely.

Do kids want my old, lifeless stuffed animals? Seems kind of gross. I slept on them, probably drooled on them. What do you think?
