Our large, corporate, Architecture office in San Francisco is moving in a few weeks and we need to get rid of a lot of architectural models that we have built over the past 5-20 years due to lack of space. Does anyone have suggestions for places for models to be donated, recycled, salvaged for parts etc. in the bay area? It's too bad the US doesn't have a museum like this: https://archi-depot.com/en/
What are other firms doing in terms of keeping/recycling architectural models that they have collected over the years?

Why would you keep/recycle them?
Maybe large corporate architecture offices could band together and finance such a museum?
Old models were a delightful bonfire in summers past.

On the bonfire theme, even better if populated with tiny effigies of the nastiest clients... (Oops. Did I actually write that, or just think it?)
