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.

Charities will take them then cut, bale and sell most second hand shirts as industrial rags ♻️
