Recycle? It's not quite "throwing them in the garbage". Depeding on where you live you can cash in on them and buy a Slurpee and a lottery ticket with the money you make.
Screw the lids into a 2x4 and hang the 2x4 under a shelf in the garage. Now you just fill the jars with screws, nuts, bolts, etc... and bammo.... instant organization.
