How to recycle microwaves, using them differently?

We are recycling, that means we are reparing things or using them in al alternative way. When cleaning up our place, we found 25 microwaves, that all work, but we don't want to use them like this due to their contaminating properties. But for what else we could use them? To make a kind of 'Rocket stove' out of them or something similar? Do you have an idea???

    did you have a permit for all of those microwaves? Theres no reason that someone needs that many in one home I'm worried that it may be a fire hazard I would auction them off on ebay or bring them to the local salvation army to donate and that’s not what recycling even means that's callled reusing and its the second of the three Rs.

    Strip them & sell the transformers, magnetrons, capacitors, lights, switches, doors, hinges, etc., individually on ebay & make a fair bit of money! :-) (the 2 magnets in the magnetron are large, strong ring magnets, which would sell quite well, if you can't sell the units)
