The phones are probably still working. New battery and touchscreen and someone will be happy with it.

To the normal user it is e waste because it's an old apple phone. It doesn't matter how much you get for it. Just get rid of it so that someone can use it or strip it apart for its parts. And most importantly, to get it out of your sight.
