What to do with old work uniform tshirts? (mander.xyz)

I got a couple of these and I absolutely hate them. I no longer work there, these shirts have the company logo on, they're of a color I don't like, the fit is awful.

I suppose I could donate them to charity, but I've never seen work uniforms donated or for sale at second hand shops. (I'm in Australia if that helps)

I'm also not into sewing or crafting with clothes, and I don't need any rags. I would keep them as shirts to use to do dirty jobs like cleaning or coloring my hair but I really feel awful wearing these, and I already have plenty of tattered shirts for that purpose.

Throwing them away just feels so wasteful. So I'm wondering if any of you have any ideas.

There's donation bins i've seen that take basically any clothes to give/sell to people in need. They would take anything and it beats throwing them away in my opinion.
I'm blown away by your statement that you don't need clothes to dirty up nor rags lol.

I thought I replied to this already, so, apologies if you get two replies - basically, I already have too many rags and I feel skeptical of the donation bins. The ones I've seen are always overflowing with stuff and if they're outdoors the clothes that overflow are at the mercy of the elements. And I'm not talking about a couple clothes, but enough bags of donations to fill the bin again.

unfortunate to hear about the overflowing clothes.
