How to recycle outmoded pots and pan? I have a set of really behind the times pots and pans...

I have a set of really behind the times pots and pans that are falling apart and the coating is wearing past its sell-by date. They're no good to use anymore but I don't want them to running out up in a landfill. Can pots and pan be recycled or donated somwhere?
Answers:    You could turn them into planters...Just drill a some drainage holes in the bottoms.
If they are aluminum, they are environmental.
