What to do with Found AirPods:

A. Recycle them:

Take these to your local retailer, and see if they offer recycling of electronics.

B. Take to Lost & Found:

If you were at a public space, then pop back in, handing it over to them. See if they will place it aside.

Important:

Posting AirPods on CraigsList:

IMO: If you place a “Found” post on Craigslist, anyone could claim them. It’s nothing of a computer. If you find a computer, then, in that case, it is best to return the to a public location, perhaps security or police —but these are nothing of a computer.

Yes. Trash them. Someone is seeing your location. Bringing them the an e-Waste location would be wisest.
