Default Question about Discarding Lead Acid Batteries

I have 2 US 2000 batteries that have been sitting in my garage for approximately 18 months. I had replaced what I was told were 2 bad batteries in June 2022, but was never happy with how the cart ran, so in September 2022 I replaced all my batteries but kept the 2, thinking I would sell them, since they cost $180. My lazy ass never got around to selling them, and they've been sitting there ever since.

The research I've done would indicate that sitting that long uncharged would have ruined them. I am looking for the best and cheapest way to get rid of them. Any advice, other than "call Battery Boys", would be appreciated.
