If you bought your RAM from OWC, they allow you to send it in and get some money for it. Check it out here.

I still have the original RAM that came with my MacBook Pro and iMac. I store them just in case.

I give it to family (or some friends) who have computers (usually notebooks) that could use it.

Hang on to it. That way if you ever have problems, you have some other known-good RAM you can swap in a test with (sometimes defective DIMMs or incompatibilities don't show up right away). You might want it for another machine someday. You never know. I have a big bin I keep unneeded but functional computer parts in. It's contents come in handy every so often.

You have to toss it in a pool of molten metal, lest Skynet use it in the future to build T-101s.
